He has been active on CT policy issues and electoral politics with the Sierra Club, NARAL, and the Rivers Alliance, and currently serves on the boards of the Salem Land Trust (a founder) and the CT Land Conservation Council.  David was also an elected member of the Salem Planning and Zoning Commission for 36 years.

Roger Reynolds, Secretary is the Senior Legal Counsel at Connecticut Fund for the Environment and Save the Sound where he represents the environmental community in courts and administrative agencies. He is also an Adjunct Professor at University of Connecticut School of Law where he founded and runs the Environmental Law Clinic. Before CFE/Save the Sound, Reynolds was an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Connecticut for ten years where he was the lead attorney for the state on numerous environmental protection, consumer protection and antitrust cases. He clerked for Supreme Court Justices Richard Palmer and Robert Callahan and graduated from NYU School of Law.
David Anderson served in the Connecticut General Assembly from 1980 to 1992. He served as Chair and Ranking member of the Energy and Public Utilities Committee. He initiated the bill to support the use of natural gas fueled vehicles in Connecticut. Anderson has long been associated with bills to support energy conservation, to augment the Farm Preservation Program, and to institute dioxin controls on waste to energy plants. As a member of the Environment Committee he conceived and wrote the bill to mandate recycling in Connecticut. Anderson is founder and Chair of the Norwich Area Global Warming Action Group. He also serves as a Board Member and active partner in Reforest the Tropics, a project in Costa Rica to reduce carbon dioxide by planting a special matrix of trees. The project recently won an EPA award for its environmental value. Most recently, Anderson has been working with CTLCV and a member of the legislature to get a bill passed mandating climate change education in our public schools. 
Jessica Bailey is the CEO and Co-founder of Greenworks Lending. Prior to co-founding Greenworks Lending in 2015, Jessica led the design and management of the C-PACE program at the CT Green Bank. In its first two years, the program financed $75 million in clean energy projects and executed the first securitization of commercial efficiency assets – more than doubling the volume of PACE transactions between 2013 and 2014. Bailey worked from 2004-2012 at the Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF), an $800 million foundation based in New York. As the Fund’s program officer for sustainable development, she co-managed a $7 million portfolio of grants focused on combating climate change and promoting clean energy.
​

In 2014, Jessica was named a “Champion of Change” by the White House for solar deployment. The Hartford Business Journal dubbed her a “Green Warrior” for her work designing the successful Connecticut C-PACE program. After co-founding Greenworks Lending and scaling C-PACE nationally, Jessica was named to Connecticut Magazine’s 2018 list of “40 under 40.” She received her graduate degree from Yale University and undergraduate degree from the University of Notre Dame.
​Maggie Carey is an attorney with a background in international environmental law and policy, specifically related to our oceans and seas. Most recently, she served as Oceans Advisor to the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), a coalition of small island and low lying nations which function as an ad hoc lobby and negotiating voice within the United Nations system on issues related to climate change, sustainable development and ocean conservation. Before moving to Connecticut, Maggie resided in Washington D.C., where she advocated to end illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing world-wide with the Pew Charitable Trusts. Maggie earned a B.A. in Political Science and International Studies cum laude from the University of Miami, holds a J.D. degree from American University, Washington College of Law and is licensed to practice law in D.C. and New York. Noticing detrimental changes to her local marine environment over the years while snorkeling and scuba diving throughout her childhood in south Florida ignited Maggie's passion for environmental protection and ocean conservation. She still enjoys water sports activities and is also an avid snowboarder.
