Gail Lewin • Executive Committee Member, Political Chair
I have been a Sierra Club member since 2003. I have served several terms on the Executive Committee and as the Chair of the Miami Group Sierra Club Political Committee. That Committee has endorsed numerous candidates for local, state and federal elections. It is important to let our members know which candidates support environmentally friendly policies, laws and regulations. In 2018 we were very active in the Cincinnati and Dayton geographical areas. At ExCom I have served as the ExCom liaison to the Political Committee and I have performed various functions in support of the Group's Treasurer. Having a sound financial condition helps the Group succeed in all of its sponsored activities such as Outings, Memorial Trees, workshops, the monthly Innings, our Annual retreat, and more.
Mary Rhodes • Executive Committee Member, Fundraising Chair, Volunteer Coordinator
Kathy Kugler • Executive Committee Member, Educational Programs Chair
I'm a retired school psychologist and avid nature lover. I support the work of Sierra Club on both a national and local level. I strive to bring clean air and clean water to my world and to my local environment. To do this, I have worked to be the change I seek. I have involved myself in township politics to ensure that the need for clean air and water, and quality of life for all, is recognized and addressed in the township in which I live. I have seen that zoning regulations are the route to improving clean air, clean water and better quality of life for all.
