Under the leadership of Executive Director Rachel Hood, West Michigan Environmental Action Council has begun to take a leadership role in the environmental community in Michigan. Rachel has made the organization stronger financially, and has been able to add two staff positions this year. The new Communications and Member Services position allows us to more effectively communicate and mobilize our membership, while the Policy and Community Activism position will allow us to promote environmentally friendly policies on the local, state, and national level. WMEAC has hired two fine and talented individuals to fill the new positions.
