From Bill Freeman Tweet Beth Prichard Geer President Joe Biden earlier this month nominated four new members to the board of the Tennessee Valley Authority, including Beth Prichard Geer of Nashville. Other nominees include Robert Klein from Chattanooga, Kimberly Lewis of Huntsville, Ala., and Michelle Moore from LaGrange, Ga. The Senate must vote to confirm their appointments for a five-year term on the nine-member board. Though I do not know all of the appointees personally, I do know Beth Geer, and I’m proud of her accomplishments and happy to see her nomination. She was chief of staff for Vice President Al Gore and an important asset to the Clinton-Gore administration, and I also know her to be kind, unpretentious and smart. She is discerning and has a fondness for environmental justice, which made her a good fit to work with Gore and his efforts on the environmental front.
