I convinced the team to let me send this

Hi friend,

Even though you don't know who I am, I convinced the email team here at Evergreen to let me send a personal note to you all so that I can share my gratitude.

I hope you already know that your engagement with our work is crucial to our outward mission—but you probably don't know how much your support matters inside of this organization.

As the chief of staff for our 30-person team, I oversee the internal workings at Evergreen. From building culture and supporting professional development, to establishing sector-leading benefits and leading strategic planning, I ensure that Evergreen staff have what they need to ceaselessly work for bold climate action.

In 2023, I had the pleasure of being busy doing what I love. We added 12 new members to the Evergreen team—that's new, dedicated expertise on climate policy, campaigns, state action, communications, digital, and operations.

And I'll share with you that this team is not just incredibly smart, hard-working, and so good at what they do—they're also full of heart. They care deeply about each other, their communities, and the future we're building. (They didn't make me say that, but they did bold that sentence!)

Even though we've grown, we remain a small and mighty team, and your engagement—whether you take action to make an impact, donate to sustain our work, or learn something you can share—is what makes us effective.

Thanks to your support, I'm better able to do my job: empowering our dedicated team.

So, thank you.

HELP SUSTAIN OUR WORK NOW

Working together, we're building a thriving, just, and inclusive clean energy future.

Thank you again for being here with us,

Rufino Velazquez

Chief of Staff
Evergreen Collaborative

P.S. I hope I've helped show that your support truly matters. Please make a gift today to help us continue putting bold, actionable climate policy at the top of the agenda.
