Why I serve on the FMR Board: I care deeply for the environment.

Being able to lend my financial background to help keep this organization strong is a way for me to translate my care for the environment into action. FMR is an organization that I truly believe in. The work FMR does is priceless, and I’m proud to be a part of something so intrinsically good.
