<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34)">With
the recent changes in Washington, many have decried how the future of a
good sustainable agenda is threatened. Many have faced these threats
in the past, and hope to give a positive message, and a series of
solutions, to continue the fight. This annual policy forum is dedicated
to the late Patty Noonan, a gifted policy professional who helped push
sustainability in affordable housing for the first time in NYS; Patty
may have died prematurely but left a legacy of strong fellow
advocates. </span><span class="gmail-aBn" style="border-bottom:1px dashed rgb(204,204,204);color:rgb(34,34,34)"><span class="gmail-aQJ" style="top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tonight</span></span><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34)">, we hope to encourage new advocates to follow in her footsteps.</span></span></p>

Bystryn joined the League as Executive Director in 1999 and was named
President in 2008. A statewide organization, the League works to elect
strong environmental candidates to office and to hold them accountable.
Previously, she served as Senior Corporate Policy Manager for the
Environment and then Senior Business Manager for Economic Development at
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. In the first capacity
she oversaw the development and implementation of corporate
environmental policy and in the later the development of new business
opportunities in the areas of regional solid waste management,
deregulation of the electrical industry and port expansion.</span></p>

Komanoff is widely known for his work as an energy-policy analyst,
transport economist and environmental activist in New York City. He
“re-founded” NYC’s bike-advocacy group Transportation Alternatives in
the 1980s, co-founded the pedestrian-rights group Right Of Way in the
1990s, and wrote or edited the landmark reports Subsidies for Traffic,
The Bicycle Blueprint, and Killed By Automobile. Earlier, Komanoff
gained prominence for deconstructing the disastrous economics of nuclear
power in the United States as author-researcher and expert witness for
states and municipalities across the U.S. He wrote his visionary
oil-saving report, Ending The Oil Age, after witnessing at close range
the traumatic events of 9/11.</span></p>

current work includes modeling and advocacy for rational traffic
pricing and expanded public transit investment in New York City, in tune
with the practical vision of the late renowned civic activist Ted
Kheel. He also directs the Carbon Tax Center, a clearinghouse for
information, research and advocacy on behalf of revenue-neutral carbon
taxes to address the climate crisis.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">-<font size="2"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahbloomquist">Sarah Bloomquist</a></font></span></p><div><div class="gmail-m_7642011269103422583gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="color:rgb(56,118,29)"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font size="2"><span style="border-collapse:separate"><span style="border-collapse:collapse;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><span style="border-collapse:collapse"><span>GreenHomeNYC, Monthly Forums Planning Committee</span><br></span></span></span></font></span></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(56,118,29)"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font size="2"><span style="border-collapse:separate"><span style="border-collapse:collapse;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><span style="border-collapse:collapse"><a href="mailto:sarah@greenhomenyc.org">sarah@greenhomenyc.org</a><br></span></span></span></font></span></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(56,118,29)"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font size="2"><span style="border-collapse:separate"><span style="border-collapse:collapse;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><span style="border-collapse:collapse"><a href="mailto:bloomquist.sarah@gmail.com">bloomquist.sarah@gmail.com</a><br></span></span></span></font></span></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(56,118,29)"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font size="2"><span style="border-collapse:separate"><span style="border-collapse:collapse;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><span style="border-collapse:collapse"><span> </span><br><span>Visit us online: <a href="http://www.greenhomenyc.org/" target="_blank">www.greenhomenyc.org</a></span><br>Like us on Facebook: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/GreenHomeNYC" target="_blank">www.facebook.com/<wbr>GreenHomeNYC</a><br>Follow us on Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/greenhomenyc" target="_blank">@GreenHomeNYC</a><br></span><span style="border-collapse:collapse">Connect on LinkedIn: <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/groups/GreenHomeNYC-4328298" target="_blank">www.linkedin.com/<wbr>groups/GreenHomeNYC-4328298</a></span></span></span></font></span></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
