In the spring of 2007, Chestertown Mayor Margo Bailey approached the Center for Environment & Society (CES) at Washington College for assistance in implementing the Mayors Climate Protection Agreement (MCPA). A Chestertown Climate Action Committee was formed, comprised of the Mayor, interested citizens, and CES staff. The initial work done by CES intern Sarah Gregg was so successful that a formal alliance was established between the town and CES. With grant support from the Town Creek Foundation and the Shared Earth Foundation, CES hired a Climate Action Coordinator to coordinate efforts.
