“Change is the only constant in life” – Heraclitus
And so it goes with the Mobile Baykeeper staff.
After 8.5 years, Donna Jordan is headed home to Alabama’s Wiregrass at the end of July. After receiving her Master of Library and Information Studies degree from the University of Alabama, Donna will be the new school librarian at Greenville Middle School in Greenville, Alabama. During her mighty tenure, Donna was responsible for facilitating the Alabama Stormwater Partnership, conducting our Muddy Water Watch educational program, researching and writing countless pages of policy documents, advocating for Forever Wild Land Trust reauthorization, creating our Swim Guide mobile app, and so much more. During the BP Oil Disaster when our focus had to shift, Donna became the rock who managed EVERYTHING ELSE. She made our office run smoothly when there was nothing remotely smooth about our world.
We’re going to miss her.
Mary Kathryn Cunningham has been our Development Director for the last two years. Since joining the team she has implemented plans to further enhance our membership base, increased revenue from fundraising events, and established our incredible Young Advisory Council with whom she created the new super hit – Bay Bites Food Truck Festival. Mary Kathryn is getting married in October before moving to Chapel Hill, North Carolina with her soon-to-be husband, Evan Levy who is doing his residency in Ophthalmology at The University of North Carolina.
These incredible women have been invaluable assets to Mobile Baykeeper and will be missed terribly. As we move forward, Jason Kudulis, who joined our team in March will be moving into the Program Director position. Jason left the enchantment of living in national parks to return home to focus on achieving our goal of clean water, clean air, and healthy communities for Coastal Alabama, a place he cares for deeply.
As difficult as it is to say goodbye to Mary Kathryn and Donna, we have a great team in place and are ready to grow. We are now accepting applications for a Development Director, Communications Coordinator and Program Coordinator through July 24th. If you are interested or know someone who is passionate, hard working and cares about our community and environment, please let us know.
