Green Officeholders Network

The purpose of the Green Officeholders Network is to bring Greens holding elective office and the State Green Parties closer; and to foster the interconnection of the Green officeholders themselves, with GPUS staff support.

The purpose of the email list of the Green Officeholders Network is to network present and past Greens holding elected office.

If you are a Green holding elected office and would like to join, please contact the GPUS Executive Director.
