As mentor and good friend of Pam, Jim presented the award himself along with a speech to honor Pam’s hard work. To briefly summarize Jim’s words, Pam has been an outstanding leader in environmental advocacy, tirelessly involving herself in and managing multiple coalitions. With remarkable collaboration and grit, Pam has been a premier example of environmental leadership that inspires and emboldens local community action.
