Climate Reality and Personal Action Plan

Joyce retired from IBM in 2019 after serving 35 years, most recently as a North American Technical Sales Manager.  Since retiring Joyce has poured herself into her volunteer work.  She joined the Rotary Club of Alameda, CA, serves on the Board of Bike Walk Alameda, acts as an adult literacy tutor, participates in Community Action for a Sustainable Alameda (CASA), maintains a comprehensive Climate Protection Checklist and presents Climate Reality topics to her community after training by former Vice President Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project.  She has given many such presentations at first in person and now via zoom.  Her Climate Reality presentation covers causes of climate change, global temperature increases, impacts of global climate change, solutions available now and developing a personal action plan leveraging her climate protection checklist.  Joyce’s passion is to inspire others to modify their behaviors and to take on projects to protect the climate.

Joyce earned her B.S. in Physics at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, and performed two years of graduate study in Plasma Physics at Princeton University.
