Great panel this morning at #GOMCON discussing catalyst for collaboration and best methods for communication. Personal experiences of these panelists speak volumes.

What better way to start day 3 of #GOMCON than with a leadership panel on lessons learned from collaborative efforts!

We are in awe! Today, our GOMA teams met as we finished day 4 of #GOMCON. If we had to sum it up in one word, it would be "collaboration." Thank you to all. We look forward to working with you in the future. #GulfofMexicoAlliance #GulfofMexico

Such a great week at #GOMCON!

Fantastic start to #PointsofLight22 conference this morning talking resiliency and letting communities define their needs! @nmbush Neil Bush, board chair, Points of Light

Who better to learn creativity from than Duncan Wardle - Innovation Keynote Speaker, Frmr Head of Innovation & Creativity at Disney, and #PointsofLight22 conference keynote speaker? Need to experience freshness to develop fresh ideas!

Organizational leadership is like hiking-got to keep your head down so you don’t trip (to take next good step), also keep your head up to see the beauty, (and thus grander vision). Thanks for inspiring personal stories this morning! #PointsofLight22

Civic talk with Juju Chang and Anthony Anderson at #PointsofLight22 this morning - talking about importance of making change and the benefits of doing it through laughter. Very effective!

Winner winner!!! GOMA brought home the 2nd place in the Association for Conservation Information awards last night in the one-time publication book report category for work on the Governors Action Plan IV! Great job team!!

We had a great surprise visit from USM President Dr. Joe Paul at our Seagrass Community of Practice meeting.

A bittersweet farewell today as we send Dr. David Yoskowitz off to Texas Parks & Wildlife! We can’t thank him enough for all his years of service to HRI, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and the Gulf of Mexico! We wish him all the best in this new adventure.

Hightower fall of 88!

Dear Zac Selmon, Please fix it so we play the Egg Bowl on Saturday again, instead of Thanksgiving. It's not that big a deal playing in that slot since the NFL also plays then. It totally messes up tailgating & family get togethers. Please go back to Sarurday. Or even Friday.

What’s your green holiday tip? 🎄
