Leslie Pool, “Building Blocks for a Healthy, Sustainable and Affordable Austin”
Jan 10, 2015, at Noon
The Public Affairs Forum is held at 12 noon on most Sundays in the Sanctuary at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Austin, sponsor of the forum. The Church is located at 4700 Grover. These one-hour forums are open to the public and admission is free.
Council Member Pool, who represents District 7 and chairs the city’s Open Space, Environment & Sustainability Committee, has woven together several policies to create a strong environmental and economic future for Austin. She holds a common sense constituent-formed vision of a healthy, sustainable and affordable Austin. Come hear what she has to say and take part in this important discussion. She will have just returned from the global climate change conference in Paris.
