Tonight was my last ECHO board meeting after 6 years of serving. It’s been an honor to be on ECHO’s board. I’ve learned tons and made a bunch of new friends all passionate about science education. I’ve learned about what it takes to run a large org like that.. budgets, staffing, and of course the science outreach and lake stewardship that is our mission.

We had a good meeting tonight, then a short ceremony to welcome the new board members and thank those of us stepping down.. definitely bitter sweet. I’ll miss these folks, but plan on staying involved in the science projects that spin out of there.. Next focus is on the google grant we got for the lights. That should be fun..

Thanks ECHO ! Best of luck tot eh board going forward !

nite all, nite sam !
