During recent weeks, the NNA-CO has seen two of our founding team members take on new exciting roles.
James Temte, who has served as the lead of the NNA-CO Community Extension Office at Alaska Pacific University (APU), recently left APU to take a new fulltime position in Durango, Colorado working with the Southern Ute Indian Tribe as an Environmental Scientist, helping to develop environmental rules and regulations for their Reservation.
Twila Moon, who supported the NNA-CO’s policy-relevant engagement and the Convergence Working Groups, has stepped away from the NNA-CO to focus her attention as the first Climate Science Engagement Lead within CU Boulder’s Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES).
But these are not goodbyes. While James and Twila will no longer be working for the NNA-CO, we look forward to staying connected as they advance climate and environmental efforts in new important spheres. The NNA-CO is extremely grateful for their leadership and for all the heart and passion they have brought into our collective work. These two incredible and talented individuals cannot be replaced! We wish both a tremendous amount of good fortune in their new professional roles.
