Gary Zuckett (Executive Director) joined WV-CAG in 1995. He most recently coordinated CAG's participation in the successful coalition West Virginians United for Social & Economic Justice. As development director, he fostered our affiliation with the national USAction, which has led to the growth of our organization and increased the scope of our work. Gary is a co-founder and past president of West Virginia Community Shares (a United Way type agency for progressive non-profits). He is also past president of the WV Environmental Council, and served as coordinator for the WV Citizen's Health Care Reform Coalition. He is on the boards of the WV Environmental Council, Southern Appalachian Labor School and West Virginians for Affordable Health Care. Gary's published articles include "Dirty Money vs. Clean Elections" and "Why Money Doesn't Equal Free Speech." Gary has first-hand knowledge of the problems created by money in politics through an unsuccessful campaign for the WV House of Delegates in 1994, and through years of lobbying efforts on behalf of the WV Environmental Council, WV-CAG, AFSCME and other organizations.

Linda Frame (Financial Manager) joined CAG in 1998. She helped produce many of the PERC reports and press releases, especially during the 1999 and 2000 Legislative Sessions in West Virginia.

She edits the Capital Eye, CAG's newsletter, and maintains our e-mail action alert system for our members. She is currently working on updating and expanding our e-mail and on-line donation systems. Linda is a former board member of the WV Environmental Council where she was the treasurer for 5 years.
