After a fantastic five and a half years at the helm, Founder and Chair, Diana Weynand, is handing over the reins to new captain Sharon Ungersma. Watch for Sharon's grand entrance in our next newsletter! What began in 2018 as a spirited team of nine Climate Reality pioneers in the West Valley has blossomed into a robust community of nearly 1,500 supporters. Diana's exceptional leadership has forged strong partnerships with government agencies and local groups to champion climate initiatives. In Diana's words, "It's been a privilege and deeply fulfilling experience to serve my community by leading this extraordinary group of climate activists. They've taught me unforgettable lessons about the power and strength of advocacy. Together, we have forged alliances that have sown the seeds of substantive change and have provided a space where anyone from the community can contribute to fighting climate change. While I may be giving up the chair, I'm not giving up the fight. I look forward to working with the SFVCR team to transition into new leadership. And I appreciate everything each and everyone of you do – every day – for our environment. Carry on!" |
