2007 NRC Elections Underway-  CRRA Endorses 6 Candidates
The 2007 National Recycling Coalition Board of Directors Election is underway. This year's election is especially important in determining the NRC Board's make-up and direction. We have the opportunity to strengthen NRC members' roles, and make NRC more responsive to its state affiliate organizations including CRRA.

The CRRA Board of Directors endorses the following 6 NRC Board candidates, and encourages you to vote for them:.
  • Darryl Young
  • David Refkin
  • Melinda Uerling
  • Susan Kattchee
  • English Bird
  • Curt Busey
Unfortunately, Marjorie Griek has withdrawn her name because of new work responsibilities.
