Green Cambridge 2012 annual meeting

At its annual meeting, held on June 7th, 2012, Green Cambridge elected a new board and welcomed new members as the organization continues to build and grow.  Long time member Rosalie Anders, recent and very active member Sarah Eckstein and former City Councilor and former Green Decade/Cambridge board member Sam Seidel were voted onto the nine member board.  Sam Berk, John Pitkin, Elena Saporta, Keren Schlomy, Minka vanBeuzenkom and Quinton Zondervan were re-elected to the board, and Sam Berk and Quinton Zondervan were voted to a second term as Treasurer and President respectively.  Its an exciting time for the organization as we continue to build momentum and broaden our reach in the areas of environmental advocacy and community service.
