Jamie Paige

Bio: Jamie Paige is the Stormwater Management Coordinator for the City of Wentzville, Mo., and specializes in stormwater pollution prevention, public and media relations, and volunteer and event coordination. When approached with the opportunity to serve as a partner for the GM GREEN program eight years ago, she jumped at the chance because she saw right away the program's potential for making real and lasting community and water quality improvements in Wentzville.

In addition to supporting the sixth grade Wentzville Middle School science teachers who are incorporating the youth led environmental service learning into their class curricula, Jamie also facilitates Earth Force programming with high school students at a local charter school. She feels she can be a better supporter of the program if she's more immersed in working with students herself. Jamie is constantly innovating around the GM GREEN program and works closely with her GM counterparts to improve their program in Wentzville.
