Dear Friend of Naromi,
| As the crisp fall air moves in and the days grow so much shorter, Naromi is planning our Annual Fall Picnic and getting ready for the Land Trust Alliance Rally, both in early October. We are also welcoming our newest Director, Stephanie Warren, and bidding farewell to our longest serving Director, Philip Korsant. We have also included more interesting creature photos and information.

New Director: Stephanie Warren
|
Stephanie Warren joined the
Naromi Board of Directors in July 2010. She has been an avid volunteer, hiker, and supporter of Naromi since she moved to Sherman. We are so glad to have her on our Board!
 Stephanie is
originally from Minnesota, where she grew up in the Minneapolis suburbs. She has a degree in economics from Wellesley
College, and a masters in international affairs from Columbia University. She is very interested in environmental
issues-while a grad student at Columbia she did research for the authors of Only One Earth, the theme book for the
first United Nations Conference on the Environment. She also researched issues for the follow-up
UN Conference on Human Settlements before beginning her career in international
finance. While working in the
international capital markets, she was based in Hong Kong and London as well as
New York, dealing with governments and international companies on risk
management and debt market derivatives.
Stephanie has lived in Sherman for five years, and enjoys life "in the
slow lane," although she finds herself very busy with all the interesting
events and organizations in and around Sherman, and is wondering just where to
find that slow lane now!

Farewell: Philip B. Korsant
|
 Naromi's longest serving Director, Philip Korsant has stepped down from the Board after almost 30 years of service. Philip is relocating to his home in Florida full-time. Naromi has relied on Philip's expertise in land conservation, non-profit organization, finance, and fundraising for many years. To that end, the Board of Directors unanimously elected Philip Director Emeritus of Naromi Land Trust on September 10, 2010. The Naromi board is grateful for all the hard work Philip has done over the years to further Naromi's Mission to protect open spaces, farmland, ridges and scenic vistas that define Sherman's character. Thank you Philip and best of luck!
