In November, HerChesapeake welcomed wildlife biologist and conservation leader Marcia Pradines to our meeting. Marcia has worked with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for ten years, and currently manages the Chesapeake Marshlands National WIldlife Refuge Complex, which includes the Blackwater, Eastern Neck, Martin and Susquehanna national wildlife refuges. As part of our guest speaker series, Marcia spoke with us about connecting people through conservation, creating a positive environment for your team and climbing the jungle gym that has replaced the classic career ladder.
