Ms. Cristina Lindley, Extension Service, Community Services
February Lower Keys Employee of the Month
I am pleased to announce Ms. Cristina Lindley as the Monroe County
Employee of the Month for February, 2005. Since her hire in August 2004,
she has applied her high energy and organization skills toward leading a
committee of interested citizens, government agencies and community
groups to organize the Green Living and Energy Expo that was held in
March, 2005 at Coral Shores High School.
Without her leadership this well received public event would not
have occurred! Over 2000 people attended from as far away as Denver,
Colorado, including many people from southeast Florida.
Cristina used her networking and advertising skills to attract over 20
sponsors and to advertise the event throughout Monroe and Miami-Dade
Counties, as well as in national magazines. We attracted vendors and
lecturers from throughout Florida, including Colorado, Oregon, and
Washington, DC.
The Green Living and Energy Expo effort lead by Ms. Lindley has
created good community relations for the Monroe County Board of County
Commissioners and the University of Florida Extension Service by being
the primary sponsors of this progressive event that promoted better use of
our existing nonrenewable energy resources as well as the need and
potential benefits of increasing our direct use of renewable solar energy.
On behalf of the Board of County Commissioners and your
colleagues, we are pleased to have you as part of our county TEAM!
