This week on PTERODACTYL, we interviewed Chris Ramsey, a wonderful delight to speak to, the Electric Vehicle Adventurer, EV Educator, and Founder of Plug In Adventure. You can find all of his glorious adventures documented at www.PlugInAdventure.com.

PTERODACTYL's home is www.CentralEV.org/podcast.

Elections are coming up! The position of Vice President and Head of Racing will be quickly vacant - this person acts as the Team Captain of the Racing Team. We desperately need to fill this position before this Academic Year closes out. This is the only position that is by appointment and succession. Go to www.CentralEV.org/elections for more information.

OTHER VACANT POSITIONS: Graphic Designer, Community Liaison, Alumni Advisor, V.P. of Engagement and Recruitment, Law and Public Policy Writer and Researcher, Video Content Manager, and Insurance Guru.
