Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper announced a new director for his Greenprint Denver conservation initiative Wednesday.
Michele Weingarden will take over the post after most recently working as an environmental policy aide to U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.
Weingarden replaces former director Beth Conover, who left the city in June.
Hickenlooper announced the Greenprint Denver initiative last year with the goal of making the city a national leader on sustainability.
In a release, the mayor praised Weingarden’s previous experience with citywide and statewide initiatives.
