Outgoing Board President Sidney Shaw

Sidney Shaw will leave the AFFEW board for the upcoming 2010-2012 term, and AFFEW is soliciting prospective candidates for the open seat who can serve two years. Nomination forms and position description can be found on the AFFEW website.  Area residents with a commitment to the environment, time for once-monthly meetings and for appointment to at least one special committee are welcome to apply. Please call one of the current board members to get the ball rolling.

AFFEW Board President Shaw has been affiliated with the organization for ten years. He has been instrumental in the revitalization of the county-wide Household Battery Recycling Program, led AFFEW’s successful grant-writing initiatives, and has been a tireless advocate and leader for expanded environmental protection efforts. His vision and drive have been key to our results.

We thank Sidney for his dedicated service and hope to see him back on the board in the future.

Board meetings are usually on the third Thursday of the month, and convene at the By The Way coffeehouse on Ludington Avenue. Members and supporters are welcome.
