~ Kerrie Romanow, San José's Environmental Services Department director and chief sustainability officer, was recently recognized for her exemplary work in developing and leading the implementation of Climate Smart San José (CSSJ), one of the City's plans for reaching the Paris Agreement's greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets.
Yesterday, at its 12th annual Climate Leadership Awards ceremony, The Climate Registry (TCR) presented a Climate Leadership Award to Ms. Romanow.
San José City Manager Jennifer Maguire praised Ms. Romanow's leadership in developing and leading the implementation of CSSJ. "San José is at the forefront of setting and achieving environmental targets alongside our community and stakeholders, and many City departments, programs and services have heeded the call," said Maguire. "Kerrie has been unwavering in leading our City towards achieving critical climate goals."
Mayor Matt Mahan also commended Ms. Romanow for her efforts in combating climate change. "Kerrie Romanow's leadership in developing Climate Smart San José has propelled our City to the forefront of the fight against climate change," said Mahan. "But an ambitious plan is just a nice idea without real-world execution, which is why I'm especially grateful for Kerrie's leadership and the City team for dedicating every day to following through on our big goals."

"I'm thankful for this accolade because it recognizes the San José community who understood the urgency of climate change, believed that we can together combat climate change and make a difference."
