FMR accomplishment most proud of: The Mississippi River Challenge, because it’s such a good fit with our mission — we’re getting people out there to experience what they are raising money to protect. I love to talk about what the program staff are accomplishing – it’s amazing work, and I’m glad I can help make it happen.
