I put his name forth for so many reasons including: 1) his long-time dedication to the environment; 2) his reasonableness and clear thinking; 3) his strong connections with the business community because of his great success as a digital technology entrepreneur; 4) his ability to persuade those of more extreme political ideologies towards a more pragmatic -- even slightly progressive -- view; 5) perhaps, most important, he is a super-nice person and gets along with just about everybody.</div><div><br></div><div>Robert M.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><div>On 23-Mar-10, at 3:39 PM, John Jackson wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div> <font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">GREN Members<br> <br> Three weeks ago we sent out the request below for nominations to the GREN executive committee.<br> <br> As of now, the status of nominations is:<br> Chair: John Jackson<br> <b>Vice-Chair: no candidate<br> </b>Treasurer: Theo Negoita<br> Three Secretaries: Susan Bryant, Susan Koswan, <b>one secretary position no candidate<br> </b><br> Our election will be Thursday night.
