Join the Clean Air Board!

Are you proud of Clean Air’s recent successes in the Tonawanda Coke campaign and the continued progress on the West Side? Concerned or frustrated with the environmental and health challenges that still threaten our community? Looking for a way to continue your involvement in keeping our community healthy and safe and our organization strong? Does any of this sound like you? Then you’ve got what it takes to apply to join Clean Air’s Board of Directors.

Members of the Clean Air Board of Directors come from many different backgrounds. We meet bimonthly, working cooperatively to help guide and shape Clean Air’s strategy, while keeping the organization stable, strong and effective. This includes planning and implementing fundraisers that help the organization continue its work. The most important skill we need in board members is a strong commitment to the health of our shared Western New York community and to Clean Air’s work and purpose. If you’re a Clean Air member, you’ve got both already. We need you!
