January is always the month where Board Members are elected to Officer Positions and the Board appoints one year term Board Members. The Board elected Eric Jensen, Energy Coordinator at the Izaak Walton League of America, as our new Board Chair, re-elected Doug Shoemaker as Vice Chair, Jan Hubbard as Secretary, and Tim Bethke as Treasurer.
