SAN FRANCISCO: December 7, 2000: Tapping into the best of talent
of the San Francisco Bay Area, the Center for Resource Solutions

look forward to contributing to CRS's efforts to promote effective
renewable energy and energy efficiency deployment strategies" Lieberman
said.

Director Këri Bolding joins the "dream
team" to spearhead the organization's efforts to bolster
national media coverage of clean energy issues. Bolding will
develop and implement an integrated communications strategy for
the entire Center's programming, including the Green-e Renewable
Electricity program. Through opening the eyes of the public to
the work of CRS and bringing renewable energy issues to the forefront
in the national media, Bolding will use public education tools
to help clean the nation's electricity system.
Bolding brings a strong communications background and persistent
commitment to public interest issues to CRS. Prior to joining
CRS she was Director of Programming and Education at Artmosphere,
an innovative start-up company aimed at integrating arts education

non-profit that used art education and personal expression as
a community empowerment and education tool in inner city neighborhoods.
Bolding is a resident of Oakland and holds a Communications degree
from Stanford University.
Based in San Francisco's Presidio, CRS administers national and international
programs that preserve and protect the environment through the design of
innovative strategies and increased utilization of appropriate technologies.

for restructured electricity markets. Dr. Jan Hamrin founded CRS and serves
as the Executive Director. More information is available at www.resource-solutions.org
