Dear Friends of the River,
I'm hoping you can help circulate the position announcement below to any interested and qualified individuals. I have been executive director of FDE for the past 2 1/2 years. It's been a wonderful and challenging experience, but I have decided to resign (effective the end of August) to explore other environmental issues and ventures. The Ocklawaha River Restoration Project will not skip a beat. David White, FDE's Project Coordinator, and Kristina Jackson, our Restoration Specialist, will still be actively working on this issue. I will remain active with this project as well, just in a different capacity. I sincerely appreciate your interest and support of this and other river issues. Although I will be departing in two months, the River team listserv will continue to keep you apprised of the Ocklawaha project and other issues of interest. Thank you for your help in circulating this announcement. Robin Mitchell
