Chair Randy Boys Term Expires: February, 2026 Comment from Randy: "Energy is fundamental to providing clean water, food, commerce, our expected quality of life, fertile democracies, … everything. (Read up on Texas' laureate and could-be-laureate Smalley and Webber; they say it better.) Equitable access to energy ... clean energy ... is something towards which everyone should be striving. Big and little efficiencies are within our grasp. Please take the time to find out what you can do, including the causes that you can support. As for me, I’m a research scientist turned engineer, first for TI/Raytheon and then Oncor Electric Delivery, and will enjoy seeing massive prosumer behavior drive distributed electrification while we await a hydrogen economy (and we *will* be waiting; it’s still … always? … a generation away). As a Texas Master Naturalist and volunteer with multiple youth and conservation groups, I look forward to passing the baton to the next generation, now with all the new energy source, utilization, and storage tricks!" |

Treasurer Michael Fladmark Term Expires: February, 2026 Comment from Michael: "I was originally appointed as a Program Coordinator during the July 2019 NTREG Board meeting. Prior to that I was serving as a Member At Large in my first elected term as a Board Member. In January, 2021, I offered to take on the duties of Treasurer when Robert Litwins, our elected treasurer, had to step aside for personal reasons." |

Manage meeting programs and topics, schedule guest speakers, and ensure the necessary equipment is available for the presenter(s). Program Coordinators also make sure the meeting room is set up in advance of each meeting. Two people serve as a team to support each other. If one is busy in a given month, the other can take charge. Most often, they work together to brainstorm ideas, to poll our meeting members and ask what topics would be of interest at future meetings. |
