Lauren Lantry is the media coordinator for the Sierra Club’s Gender, Equity, and Environment Program, the Electric Vehicles Initiative, and the Green Transportation Program. Lantry writes about the recent election of officers of the Sierra Club Board of Directors, and the fact that it is the first time in its history of 125 years that the executive committee was made up of females. Loren Blackford is the new Board President, Susana Reyes is the Board Vice President, Robin Mann is the new Secretary, Liz Walsh is the treasurer, and Margrete Strand-Rangnes is the fifth officer. This milestone towards a more equitable world is important for climate justice, as the Sierra Club works in the protection of the environment. The National Program Director of the Sierra Club, Sarah Hodgdon, stated that with the newly-elected all-female executive team, there is a great set of skills available to deal with the issues pertaining to climate change.
