Volunteer of the Month: Teri Leonard

As the Earth Day 2010 events wind down, it is fitting that Teri Leonard is recognized as our Volunteer of the Month. Since founding the Reef Sustainability Committee last year, Teri has created, sponsored and supported many events based on environmental issues. She has been involved with Beach and Highway Clean-ups, Fish Identification classes and surveys, water quality monitoring programs, and was recently invited to be a member of the South West Maui Watershed Project Advisory Board Steering Committee. She was the organizer of our April event where 4 speakers, including herself talked about our environment and the impacts and threats. Teri is always enthusiastic about making sure people are educated and know actions that we can all take to make tomorrow better.

Teri is the manager of Maui Dreams Dive Co. in Kihei where she has worked as a SCUBA instructor for more than 10 years. She continues to act as an advocate for the environment on the County, State, and Federal levels of government. Please join Teri as she moves forward with these projects and more in the coming year.
