I'm excited about our search for a new ED. I have been Executive Director of FRC for 19 years. Before that, I was one of FRC's founders. I will work with the new ED during the transition and will remain on the Board of Directors to help guide our work and continue our long history of success. Our mission remains the same: "To Protect, Preserve and Restore Rose Canyon and the Rose Creek Watershed."
