HOUSTON'S FIFTH WARD/KASHMERE GARDENS: THEA'S EFFORTS HAVE BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN BRINGING THE EPA TO TAKE OVER TESTING FOR CONTAMINATION CAUSED BY A NEARBY RAILYARD CREOSOTE OPERATION, ADDRESSING A LONGSTANDING ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH HAZARD. IN ADDITION TO THESE LARGE-SCALE CLEANUP EFFORTS, 2023 HAS BEEN A YEAR OF MEANINGFUL COMMUNITY INTERACTION: 1. THEA HOSTED 83 FACE-TO-FACE COMMUNITY INTERACTIONS AND PROVIDED 17 PRESENTATIONS TO COALITIONS AND COMMUNITY GROUPS. 2. THEA ENGAGED OVER 1,500 COMMUNITY MEMBERS THROUGH DIRECT OUTREACH AND COLLABORATED WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS AT MAJOR EVENTS LIKE THE LYONS AVENUE FESTIVAL AND THE BAYTOWN'S NURTURE NATURE FESTIVAL. 3.
