In this column, I generally write about the issues we encounter at NRLI sessions and strategies for managing conflict. It is, however, the holiday season, and most every newsletter that I encounter focuses on the idea of giving with inspiring stories of generosity. We at NRLI are thrilled and deeply honored that we too can share a story of remarkable generosity this year. Last month, Dr. Joe Joyce retired as Director of the UF/IFAS Center for Leadership. Prior to that, he served as Associate Vice President of UF/IFAS for over 17 years; he also is a retired Brigadier General, U.S. Army Reserves. Over the last 24 months, Joe has been incredibly supportive of the NRLI program, taking time to attend sessions and to really learn about our mission, activities, and Fellows. In November, Dr. Joyce announced the establishment of the General Joe Joyce Family Endowment for Natural Resources Leadership. The endowment will fund scholarships for NRLI Fellows and provide general program support. It is also an important part of Dr. Joyce's broader legacy of support for leadership in agriculture and natural resource management. This is a watershed moment for the NRLI program, and the moment was made even more impactful by the subsequent actions of Dr. Jack Payne, Senior Vice President for Agriculture and Natural Resources, who pledged a contribution to the endowment in honor of Joe Joyce's service to UF/IFAS. We are deeply grateful to Dr. Joe Joyce and his family and to Dr. Jack Payne for their remarkable generosity. The endowment will have a lasting positive impact, and through the NRLI Fellows, Florida and its citizens will be the beneficiary.
