Marian Smith: Providence, RI: Rhode Island State Advisory Board member since 2019: Champions Club member since 2016.

As an environmentalist, I am always looking for more ways to protect the environment, but confronting global climate issues can feel overwhelming. When I moved to Rhode Island, I found Conservation Law Foundation through friends and family. I knew immediately that supporting CLF was the best way to make a difference. So, I joined CLF's Champions Club with a monthly gift. It was so easy.

I love that when you support CLF, you know exactly how your donation is being used. They provide timely and thorough updates so you can see which cases and causes CLF is working on and the impact on communities right here in New England.

In 2019, I was honored to join the Rhode Island State Advisory Board. I have learned so much, and in fact it has changed the way I talk about environmentalism. My Advisory Board service has motivated me to get more involved in local politics...
