The earthday365 Advisory Council consists of the earthday365 Fan Club – a devoted group of people who are on call to provide their expertise, input, advice, and access to their networks. In addition, the Council meets once a year for an annual report and to provide input on plans for the coming year. We are grateful to those who remain engaged and supportive of our organization, often after years of service as a board member or volunteer for the organization.
