As executive director of the Loggerhead Marinelife Center, Nanette has overseen its growth in recent years and its spring 2007 move into a new 12,000 square foot facility in Juno Beach, Fla. Now Nanette has been named president of the newly formed LMC Foundation."The foundation will be our fundraising and communications arm and will help us better accomplish our outreach and financial goals," the LMC's board chairman said in a letter to the center's supporters. "On behalf of the board, I'd like to congratulate Nanette on her appointment as president of our foundation, and thank her for her time served as our executive director. We look forward to having Nanette grow this division and communicate with you on a regular basis."
Nanette writes: "Fortunately, the LMC is financially healthy and I'm excited about the launch of the foundation. We are hiring additional staff and have just hired Cambridge 7, an exhibit design firm from Boston, to begin planning for expansion."
The Loggerhead Marinelife Center was in this news in January when thousands of sea turtles were stunned by unusually cold water temperatures. The LMC took a leading role in rescuing the stricken animals, rehabilitating and releasing over 400 green turtles.Previous articles:
