I have had the pleasure of helping to lead CARI as either a Co-President or Executive Director for over 3 years. It has been an honor to work with all of our great volunteers, staff and other collaborators. I am proud of how we have moved CARI forward step by step to be a stronger, more visible and better resourced organization. It has been some of the most meaningful work I have ever done.<\/p>\n<p>This was not an easy decision for me, because I have loved leading CARI, but this was the right time to make a change. I have full faith that Climate Action Rhode Island will move forward with new leadership and continue to make a real difference speeding the just transition to renewable energy here in Rhode Island.<\/p>\n<p>Avery Robertson is stepping in as our Interim Executive Director as we move forward with a search for a new Executive Director. Her deep experience and full dedication to CARI will keep our momentum strong.<\/p>\n<p>And although I have stepped away from the Executive Director role, I am in reality just stepping back into the esteemed role of a CARI volunteer. I will continue to co-lead the Politics Team with Bill Ibelle as we work for our endorsed candidates in their November elections and prepare, with our collaborators, for a successful 2027 legislative session.<\/p>\n<p>You all have my best wishes,<br \/>\nWith appreciation,<\/p>\n<p>Jeff Migneault<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subject: Changing Leadership<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1266,"featured_media":2927,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/rhodeisland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/rhodeisland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/rhodeisland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/rhodeisland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1266"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/rhodeisland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2926"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/rhodeisland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2926\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/rhodeisland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/rhodeisland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/rhodeisland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/rhodeisland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
