Fall 2019 Director’s Corner
Dear Colleagues, This is my thirteenth and final “Director’s Corner” and one that I am delighted to share with my successor as Executive Director, Dr. Denice Wardrop; she has contributed a short postscript at the bottom.

August 11, 2019 Dear Colleagues, TRANSITION is a very definite theme this year here for both the Chesapeake Bay Program partnership and the CRC.

Well, some of those things are more celebratory for some of us than others … but you...
