OLCV Annual Dinner for the Environment



On April 25, I volunteered at the Oregon League of Conservation Voters Annual Dinner for the Environment. The Oregon League of Conservation Voters is a non-partisan organization with a simple mission: Educate voters about how their legislators vote on the environment and to hold these legislators accountable. This year, over 850 people attended the dinner, and somewhere around 40-45 elected officials who voted pro-environment were recognized for voting green when given the choice. I've volunteered at this event for 3 years now, and each time am impressed by the number of people in attendance as well as how organized everything is.
The best part is that the woman who runs this dinner, Molly Kramer, is coming to talk to the Social Practice students next week about raising money. It should be great information!
