Celebrating our Summer Interns


This is a busy week for our group of five, industrious interns. On Tuesday (August 4) they made a presentation to the Water Resource Advisory Committee during the River of Grass planning session. The presentation, entitled Valuing Ecosystem Services, was simulcast via the web, and should soon be available to download online. The interns were clear, concise and engaging. The audience of political leaders, senior scientists, government policy makers and NGO Everglades advocates all applauded their work. We are very proud of their performance!


On Thursday, the group will be making their graduation presentation at 33480 Bar and Grill in West Palm Beach. This annual event gives the interns a chance to reflect and review their eleven-week internship and to thank the many mentors who have helped them succeed. The event begins at 5:30pm and the cost is only $35. Tickets are still available--call 561-805-8733 for reservations and more information.


About the photo: Once again, Senator Bob Graham served as a mentor for the 2009 Interns. The Arthur R. Marshall Foundation thanks Senator Graham for his support of the Everglades and of the Summer Intern Program.
