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." - Larry Coble

350 Chicago looks forward to this new stage in our organization’s efforts to fight the climate crisis!

In solidarity,

350 Chicago
