Dear ClimatePlan Network Partners and Allies,

First things first: We’re delighted to share that the newest ClimatePlanner arrived a few short weeks ago! Chanell Fletcher, our Executive Director, delivered a strong, healthy baby boy. Mom and baby are doing well and are supported by loving family and friends.

While Chanell takes time with her growing family, ClimatePlan continues the work ahead.

Dear ClimatePlan partners, allies, and friends:

I hope you’re enjoying the holiday season! I can’t believe we’re at the end of 2018 already. Before we’re officially in 2019, I want to hit the pause button to show you how much we’ve done together.
