James White Says:Dear Jon,
Congratulations for your new career opportunity.
For longer than I have been associated with the CRCPO you have served as a key resource for the environmental organizations in the region, the Great Lakes and the Nation. The mission of the George Gund Foundation has been well served by your work.
You provided unique leadership by seeing and promoting opportunities, in connecting organizations, and in providing wise counsel along with grant support.
Your support to CRCPO for our operations, environmental collaborations, workshops, communications and outreach and our CLEERTEC Initiative provided critical resources as we focused and strengthened our mission on behalf of the Cuyahoga River.
I know many other organizations in our region can also speak eloquently about the effectiveness of your leadership and support to their work as well. We are all losing a gifted and unique friend to our region. You will be missed.
Please accept my heartfelt thanks for a job well done. Best wishes to you in your new duties.
