Christine Todd Whitman serves as co-chair of the organization with Patrick Moore, PhD, a co-founder of Greenpeace and former director of Greenpeace International.
As co-chair, Whitman is helping lead a new public dialogue on nuclear energy through media interviews, speeches and other outreach efforts. In addition, the Whitman Strategy Group counsels the CASEnergy Coalition on environmental and energy issues, conducts outreach to environmental and health groups and assists in recruiting new members.
