Coordinator
Award Presented
to Puget Sound's Linda Graham At
the 2004 National Clean Cities Conference, Linda J. Graham,
Director for the Puget Sound Clean Cities Coalition, received
recognition with the Coordinator Excellence Award for the
Seattle/Western region. This honor was given to one coordinator in
each of the 7 Department of Energy regions across the United States.
Linda was recognized for her work in
leading the Puget Sound Clean Cities Coalition to boast a
significant increase in the use of alternative fuels and vehicles,
the development of new alternative fuels stations, her writing and
lobbying for state legislation, achieving local and national media
attention, and much more. Linda's hard work and that of the
Coalition's many members is a powerful combination that has made
the Puget Sound Clean Cities Coalition a great success.

2004 National Clean Cities Conference
For the second year in a row,
the Puget Sound Clean Cities Coalition has ranked among the top
ten performing coalitions in the country. This designation is
determined by the Department of Energy based on numerous factors,

alternative fuel vehicles and refueling stations. The
Coalition's progress in 2003 placed it among the top ten out of 83 Clean Cities organizations around the country.
