FMR Role through January 2019
Jeanine works closely with FMRs leadership donors who are furthering our mission and vision by becoming Mississippi Riverkeepers and Mississippi River Legacy Society members. Jeanine finds FMRs river-watershed protection work to be both complex and fascinating; expressed best by Tim Palmer: When we save a river, we save a major part of an ecosystem, and we save ourselves as well because of our dependencephysical, emotional, spiritualon the water and its community of life. She is honored to work with donors who have the foresight to protect the greatest natural asset in our community for current and future generations. And she is proud to work for a local environmental organization that is leading the nation in connecting urban river protection to clean water and healthy communities.
