A huge THANK YOU to everyone who supported us through Give Miami Day and who joined us at our 'Culinary Passport to Asia' Fundraising Gala. Your generosity makes all the difference!

As our IVLP group wrapped up their three-week journey, they participated in a crucial Synthesis Session led by Dr. Lisa Krimsky from the University of Florida. This session provided an invaluable opportunity for participants to reflect on their experiences and strategize on actionable next steps in their efforts to combat water resource challenges. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Dr. Krimsky for her exceptional leadership and expertise. Her work as a Regional Water Resources Extension Agent has been instrumental in advancing sustainable practices in Florida's coastal communities. Recognized nationally with the Early Career Leadership Award from the Association of Natural Resource Extension Professionals, Dr. Krimsky continues to inspire and empower individuals dedicated to environmental stewardship. The insights gained during this session will undoubtedly guide our participants as they return to their communities. Together, we can work towards effective solutions for sustainable water management and conservation. International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP)

Last month, our IVLP group was inspired by a meeting and site visit with the talented artist Beatriz Chachamovits. Beatriz's work is a powerful reminder of the beauty and vulnerability of our marine ecosystems. Through her unique artistic lens, she explores themes of conservation and environmental protection, challenging viewers to reflect on the impact of human behavior on our oceans. Beatriz’s exhibition, "Meet Me in the Clearing Between the Waves," showcases her multidisciplinary approach, combining drawing and ceramics to create immersive installations that resonate with the urgency of marine conservation. We are grateful to Beatriz for sharing her journey and insights with our visitors, igniting important conversations about the role of art in advocacy and environmental awareness. Together, we can promote a deeper understanding of the vital connection between art, science, and environmental stewardship. Thank you, Beatriz, for your inspiring work and for fostering a culture of conservation! International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP)
