STATEMENT: I would be honored to serve as Vice Chair for the Climate Specialty Group. My work focuses on how cities can become more resilient to climate hazards. I have organized sessions sponsored by this specialty group (e.g., on heat resilience) and attended the conference business meetings. I have been an active AAG member for over a decade and previously served a term as the student representative and later as a faculty board member for the HDGC specialty Group. I’m now at a point in my career where I have more capacity to serve the discipline!
