Friends, the time has come for me to move on as Executive Director of the Texas League of Conservation Voters. Now that the legislative session has concluded, and the League's programs are off to a good start for the summer - including welcoming two outstanding new summer interns, Brian Kates and Patrick Moore - I've decided to move on, spending time this summer travelling and spending time with my family.

It's been an honor and privilege for me to serve the League this past year, and I've especially enjoyed getting to know the League's friends and supporters. I have every confidence that you, together with the League's board of directors and Interim Director Lize Burr (formerly Coordinator of the Alliance for a Clean Texas), will continue to accomplish great things holding our officials accountable for Texas' clean air, clean water and clean energy.

Please keep up the good work. Remember to vote for the environment, and please keep doing all you can to protect what's best about Texas for future generations.
