MORE ABOUT MADELEINE:

Madeleine was an early member of Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL), and like many others, grew in her role and commitment as the organization grew. She founded her local Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) chapter in Madison, Wisconsin in 2011, and went on to assist 10 other groups to start in her home state of Wisconsin. During her time as a CCL volunteer she held nearly every role available within the organization from group leader to regional coordinator, as well as liaison to her Senator and her local newspaper editors. 

In addition to her CCL volunteer experience, she draws upon a diverse career in housing co-op management, political activism, anti-racism training, peer mediation and counseling, and education. She is committed to Citizens’ Climate Lobby’s focus on empowering people from all backgrounds and walks of life to be effective climate advocates, and to building support in our government and communities for effective solutions to the climate problem. 

When she is not on the phone or Zoom with CCL staff and volunteers, Madeleine enjoys walking by the lake, singing with her church choir, and hanging out with her family and two cats.
