(the following abstracted from a longer bio-sketch)

Ms. Johnson has extensive environmental and energy-related experience,
in both the non-profit and private sectors.  She holds a Masters 
in Business Administration, focusing on marketing, from the  
University of Missouri-St.Louis; a Masters of Arts in Teaching 
from Brown University; and a Bachelor's Degree in Economics 
from Smith College.

Ms. Johnson is known for her incredible energy, being well-organized, 
and her critical, logical, analytical thinking skills.  Most recently
she worked for Clean Air Action Corporation, a unique enterprise aimed 
at building a business while advocating for an innovative approach 
to air quality compliance.  Ms. Johnson was involved with the marketing 
and regulatory activities behind selling a product that didn't yet exist. 
But, identifying clients for whom Clean Air Action Corp.'s "not-yet-legal, 
but not illegal" approach to emission trading made sense was the most 
effective means to obtain desired change from government regulators.

Previously, Ms. Johnson was with Energy Investment, Inc., an engineering
company that specializes in commercial/industrial energy efficiency and
utility demand-side management programs.  She played a significant role 
in doubling the company's sales by leading the expansion to new markets, 
particularly in the midwest. In addition, she organized the premier 
national Demand-Side Management conference, including direct contact with 
125 utilities nationwide.  The conference attracted over 1200 attendees.

In the non-profit sector, Ms. Johnson was Director of Massachusetts 
Audubon: Boston.  This new urban initiative of the Society focused on 
bringing together advocacy, education, and scientific activities related 
to the cleanup of Boston Harbor and the improvement of open space 
in Boston.  Recruiting and managing a staff of five, she also developed 
new program directions related to water conservation and reduction of 
urban pesticide use.  In 30 months, Ms. Johnson successfully raised over 
$330,000 in foundation support.

Previously, Ms. Johnson was the Environmental Programs Director for 
the American Lung Association of Massachusetts/Boston where she worked 
with schools, community groups, labor unions, and government on air 
conservation and occupational lung disease programs, and helped organise 
and produce the series of Sunday Brunch Health Sciences Programs at
The Cambridge Institute for the Arts and Sciences, and a spin-off
of that program during several of MIT's IAP January session, along
with E-Club Co-Founder & Co-Director Richard Shyduroff and his
wife, Nancy Gardner, MIT MSVS'81, who just happens to be her sister.

Ms. Johnson's work experiences also include computer programming, junior high
school social studies teaching, fund-raising, and event management.  She has
held leadership positions with a number of non-profit organizations and
advisory councils including Save the Harbor/Save the Bay, the South End/Lower
Roxbury Open Space Land Trust, the Boston GreenSpace Alliance, Sierra Club, 
League of Women Voters in Boston and in St. Louis, Mayoral Solid Waste 
Committee, and the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority's Facilities
Planning Citizen's Advisory Committee.

... hope to see many of you on tuesday ...
