Notice of TVTU Annual Chapter Members Meeting
The agenda will include:
1. Elections
2. Treasurer's Report on income, expenses, and cash-on-hand.
3. President's Annual Report to members
4. Eric Means, Climate Change Coordinator for Oregon
Our meeting will conclude with a presentation from Eric Means, TV
chapter member, and TU's volunteer Climate Change Coordinator for
Oregon. Eric is an electronics engineer in the computer-chip business,
and 8 years ago was bold (foolish?) enough to step into the political
climate change fray — as a Republican, no less. Eric will describe what
climate change is, what causes it, and — most important — why it poses a
long-term threat to cold-water fisheries in Oregon. If you wonder why
climate change has become so politicized, Eric will offer his view from 8
years inside the mayhem as an advocate. TU’s national office concluded
that the best current political vehicle to address climate change is
something called “carbon fee and dividend”, which now exists as a
resolution in the US House of Representatives. Eric will describe why
this resolution is so important, why it inspires fear from both sides of
the political aisle, and what TU members can do to support it.
Thank you,
Lori Day
President
