A Note From the Executive Director
In 2023, PEER marks its 30th anniversary. Our story has been one of remarkable service, hard work, and a steadfast commitment to helping current and former public employees speak the truth, protect science, and safeguard the environment. To mark this milestone, we are embarking on a year-long celebration and retrospective of our work through videos, webinars, and by sharing past successes in our publications. In the coming years, growing environmental crisis and continuing attacks on government institutions will require us to recommit to our mission while strengthening our engagement with public employees, community groups, and environmental and public health organizations. Thank you for being part of this journey. – Tim
