Tahoe Fund Announces New Board Chair & Member

April 13, 2016 by diana

TAHOE FUND NAMES ART CHAPMAN BOARD CHAIR
Longtime Environmentalist Clem Shute Joins the Board

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. and TAHOE CITY, Calif.  – April 13, 2016 – The Tahoe Fund, an environmental nonprofit dedicated to raising private support for environmental projects at Lake Tahoe, today announced the appointment of Art Chapman as chair of the board of directors. The organization, now entering its sixth year, also announced the appointment of environmental attorney E. Clement (Clem) Shute, Jr. to its board of directors. The bi-state organization is focused on restoring the Lake’s famed clarity, improving outdoor recreation and inspiring greater stewardship of the Tahoe Basin.  Chapman takes over as chair from Tim Cashman, who will remain a board member of the organization.

“Tahoe is an incredibly special place to me and my family,” said Art Chapman. “As a founding member of this organization, I have seen the great work we can do for Tahoe with the help of the private community. I am honored to be named chair and will continue to focus our efforts on growing our impact.”

Chapman is the Founder of JMA Ventures. Headquartered in San Francisco, JMA’s assets include The Fairmont Heritage Place Hotel at Ghirardelli Square, the Epic and Waterbar restaurants in San Francisco, Homewood Mountain Resort at Lake Tahoe, The West Shore Café and Inn, and ownership interests in the Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows ski resorts.  He was a founding member of the Tahoe Fund. He was also appointed to and served, alongside Chute, on the bi-state California/Nevada consultation committee that guided the development of the recently adopted Tahoe Regional Plan that is administered by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency. In 2011, Art was recognized as the Citizen of the Year by the North Lake Tahoe Resort Association.

Clem Shute, the co-founder of Shute Mihaly & Weinberger LLP, is an environmental lawyer with deep roots in California and Lake Tahoe. He was involved in the early battles over the formation of TRPA, including property rights issues and a proposed casino.  During the 1980’s he represented the League to Save Lake Tahoe, particularly in the formulation of TRPA’s 1987 Regional Plan.  Thereafter, he represented TRPA in the 2002 US Supreme Court decision upholding the agency’s restrictions on developing on high hazard lands as well as defending TRPA’s successful prohibition on two stroke engines.

“As a lawyer and policymaker, I have been involved in many controversial issues at Lake Tahoe for decades,” said Clem Shute. “It is an honor to join this growing organization which has the non-controversial purpose of supporting projects and programs that will be of great value in sustaining this unique lake.”

The Tahoe Fund has raised private funds for 15 projects in the Tahoe Basin, including a new bike path from Incline to Sand Harbor that will break ground this year. The organization will launch fundraising campaigns for its 2016 projects in early summer. They will feature the acquisition of 200 acres in South Lake Tahoe on the area’s highest priority watershed, a new overlook at Taylor Creek to help improve the visitor experience during the popular salmon run, a restored section of hiking trail on the famed Rubicon Trail on the West Shore, and a new section of Lake Tahoe Bikeway near Dollar Point.

November 17, 2015 by diana

LAKE TAHOE, Calif. and Nev. – November 17, 2015 – The Tahoe Fund is launching a new project submission process for environmental organizations that would like to partner with the Tahoe Fund to restore lake clarity, improve outdoor recreation and inspire stewardship of the Tahoe Basin.  Organizations are invited to submit project ideas at http://www.tahoefund.org/our-projects/submit-a-project/.

“We have simplified the process to make it much easier for organizations to share projects with us,” said Tahoe Fund Projects Committee Co-Chair, Jim Lawrence. “We look forward to receiving project ideas that will have a meaningful impact and inspire our private donors.”

Since 2010, the Tahoe Fund has raised funds from private donors for 15 environmental improvement projects including new bike paths, watershed restorations, removal of aquatic invasive species and environmental stewardship programs.  The Tahoe Fund’s biggest project to date is the Incline to Sand Harbor Bike Path that is still open for donations.

Eligible projects must be able to demonstrate that all environmental permits will be obtained, enjoy strong community support, and have other sources of funding identified. Further details can be found at http://www.tahoefund.org/our-projects/submit-a-project/.

Projects should be consistent with the program level priorities established as part of the 2008-2018 Environmental Improvement Update. With the notable exception of education/interpretation projects, the Fund will generally not include funding requests for planning, design, or other pre-construction activities, or for maintenance and monitoring of projects in its portfolios.

In a quickly-to-be posted information to honors schools, the College of Virginia Echols Scholars Plan arrived in minute simply to the College of Mi for “total superiority” among awards applications located within 50 hugely- public universities that were regarded. The position, concluded by Public University Honors, is founded on course, maintenance, graduation rates (of honors individuals), property, exclusive grant prizes, research abroad plans, and availability of concern enrollment. Overview Of 50 Public University Honors Applications, a 275- manual this month to be posted, looks at public universities ranked the best by U.S. Information & World Record along with all associates of the research-oriented Affiliation of National Universities. The Faculty of William & Jane was left-out as it isn’t grouped as a “study” university, and Berkeley wasn’t involved due to the overall rank as an “honors” university. The typical respects registration among the 50 universities reviewed was just under 1800 learners. Inside the heading of “small” plans within large colleges, Scholars Plan comes with between 1200 and 1300 individuals. The School of on the other hand, Maryland, invites about the plan, as well as 1000 undergraduates each year to its Awards Faculty usually figures about 3000 pupils on-campus. Honors training is an enjoyable selection for a lot of individuals and describes excellence “within an growing amount of schools that are public.” The honors packages are very important to schools since they attract high -quality learners, plus they are important to students because they signify comparatively affordable paths to high-level more individualized university knowledge, research, along with the best-in undergraduate training.

Be especially attentive for those who have some of those in your trek.

But these applications vary enormously and comparisons with the objective of rank would appear challenging. Unlike many awards plans, for example, admission to UVas Echols is not “quantitative” in dynamics, and there is no “magic report or list” that will automatically generate an invitation towards the plan. And it is limited by the Faculty of Sciences and Disciplines. Request essays are carefully evaluated, along with admissions’ workplace looks for instructional leaders together with cerebral “risk-takers.” Announcements towards the School of Baltimore Awards school are also not depending on a threshold, though many successful individuals are “among the most academically gifted and motivated students” inside the entire number of students that were admitted. There’s furthermore no independent software for the UMd Honors Faculty, however the system is available to all undergrads no matter faculty or main. Both programs provide a shared first-year living knowledge, particular college advising, study help, and concern enrollment. And both possess a proven history of accomplishment. Utilizing easily available info from 50 research colleges, Public University Honors ranks the very best honors packages with regards to “total superiority” the following: College of Michigan University of Virginia University of Texas at Austin University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Arizona State University College of Washington University of Minnesota Michigan State University School of Sc University of Atlanta Keep in mind that like all different “rating,” the ideas of one corporation are represented by this checklist. This program descriptions provided on the internet site and in the manual are now actually a lot more beneficial.
