From LRNow:

Do you have an interest in public policy that affects the environment in Virginia Beach and across the state of Virginia?  Governor Kaine has made this the year of the Environment and Green Jobs and there is much interest in tackling the challenges ahead of us.  The actions of our elected officials do affect what we are able to accomplish right here in our watershed.  Therefore, LRNow is forming a new Public Policy Committee to help all of our members stay on top of the issues and voice their opinions on important questions and decisions.  As many of you know through your own service on one of our committees, the LRNow committees are vital to the many programs that we offer each year.  We are very fortunate that Dr. Mary Picardi has agreed to chair this committee.  Please contact Karen Forget at kforget@lynnhaven2007.com or 757-962-5398 if you are interested in being a part of this exciting new group.  A kick-off meeting will be planned when we have identified interested participants.

Thank you for considering this new way of working for environmental sustainability in our watershed and across our state.
