In lieu of holding a general membership meeting in April 2020 and doing our part to avoid large group gatherings, the Calusa Waterkeeper board proceeded with filling open board positions at our directors meeting in May.
We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to outgoing board members David Laties and Marti Daltry, and are thrilled to announce new incoming board members Chuck Avery, Louise Kowitch and Jason Pim, who will now be serving as Vice President. In addition, several officers have committed to providing valuable continuity and stay in their positions into 2021. President Ruth Watkins and Treasurer Jim Watkins will be serving another year in those positions and Kathy Cookman has volunteered the new Secretary of the board.
