Join us for an Energy, Water and Environment Committee meeting with CARB Chairman Mary Nichols. Chairman Nichols
will discuss implementation of the California Global Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32) and updates to Proposition 1B: Goods
Movement Emission Reduction Program.
Mary D. Nichols was appointed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger as Chairman of the California Air Resources Board in
July 2007. She returns to the Air Board 30 years after serving as the Chairman under Governor Jerry Brown from 1978 to
1983. In her return as Chairman, Nichols’ priorities include moving the state’s landmark climate change program ahead,
as well as steering the Board through numerous efforts to curb diesel pollution at ports, and continuing to pass regulations
aimed at providing cleaner air for Southern California and the San Joaquin Valley.
The Air Resources Board leads the country in working with the public, the business sector, and local governments to protect
the public’s health, the economy and the state’s ecological resources through the most cost-effective reduction of air pollution.
