League of Conservation Voters

June 17, 2014

Megan Boler and Zachary Denard, field organizers with the League of Conservation Voters, made a presentation about their office's efforts to raise environmental awareness.

Boler showed a short segment of video that gave two examples of how environmental concerns are playing out in two different states.

During the Q&A that followed, faciltator Mary Johnson invited elected officials to address a question about how elected officials could support work on environmental concerns. Speaking were Charlotte Mayor Pro Tem Michael Barnes, City Council District 2 member Al Austin, and City Council District 4 member Greg Phipps.

Boler said the Charlotte office, with nearly a dozen field organizers, was supported by the national office, not by the North Carolina chapter in Raleigh.
