Operation Pollination - A Rotary Initiative
Rotary After Hours Sponsor: Shannon Duncan
Tina Hall will share some exciting updates and plans for Operation Pollination - a Rotary Initiative. There is a Global grant and Monarch Challenge in the works for 2024 to raise funds for planting trees. Tina will also talk about the unique "themed-based" club that she is a member of. District 5950 has at least three themed based clubs - a Veterans club, a Eco club and a LGBTQ+ club.
After graduating with her doctorate in Environmental Studies from the University of Maryland, Tina has worked over 30 years for The Nature Conservancy directing several state programs in land protection and forestry and now oversees forest certification for The Nature Conservancy. Throughout her career she has given presentations to Rotary Clubs. Finally, in 2001 she joined the Marquette, MI breakfast club and began her Rotary journey. She was Club President in 2008-2009, then an Assistant Governor for 5 years and then District Governor in 2017-2018 for District 6220. She then moved to the SW for a 14th month period and got many insights into new ways to do things and was her club’s secretary. She then moved to NE Iowa and has become involved in her local club and District 5970. She is currently a member of the Twin Cities Eco Club in District 5950, as well as the co-lead for the Environmental and Sustainability Rotary Action Group’s Operation Pollination.
