Short Description of Activity
The CORE Act Committee Communications Team asked for my assistance to write an LTE to the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel in support of the Camp Hale – Continental Divide National Monument proposal, a part of the broader CORE Act which has stalled in the U.S. Senate. I researched and wrote, submitted the LTE on Sept 30. It was published today, Oct. 7, 2022.
Reflection/Evaluation
Objective met and happy that the LTE was published as this topic is very much in the news. I shared this with Broad leadership group and responded to Lisa Pool’s request to submit a photo of myself, which I did.
