350 Chicago Welcomes Our First Executive Director
350 Chicago’s Board of Directors is proud to announce that Larry Coble has been hired to serve as our Executive Director. This is our first full-time employee position, and an important milestone in our ability to fight the climate crisis in Chicago. Larry co-founded 350 Chicago 10 years ago and served as Board President for over 5 years, providing leadership for our successful Chicago divestment campaign, nationally-coordinated local climate campaigns, and multiple on-the-ground actions. We are extremely excited for him to lead our new phase of growth!
“It took a lot of work from volunteers, organizers and funders to get our organization to this point. This step represents a leveling up of our organization, and lets us work even harder to push both Chicago and Illinois into taking real, meaningful steps towards solving the climate crisis.”
350 Chicago looks forward to this new stage in our organization’s efforts to fight the climate crisis!
