Massachusetts Environmental Collaborative
About the Collaborative
Initiated by ELM in 1997 with 20 environmental groups, the Massachusetts Environmental Collaborativehas grown to over 60 member organizations — from the Berkshires to Cape Cod. These members provide valuable local knowledge and expertise on a range of environmental issues.
Together, ELM and Collaborative members share knowledge, pool resources, discuss priorities and strategies, and provide a strong advocacy voice on key environmental concerns.
Twice a year the Collaborative convenes for information and strategy meetings, featuring key speakers from among Collaborative members and a guest speaker from the Massachusetts legislature or government.
Ian Bowles, Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) — pictured left with ELM President George Bachrach — was the featured speaker at the Spring 2008 meeting held at the Garden in the Woods, Framingham, MA.
