At the first SanCap Chamber business luncheon on Sanibel since Hurricane Ian, Everglades Foundation CEO Eric Eikenberg will speak about Everglades restoration progress Wednesday, Aug. 23, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Rosalita’s Cantina.
Eikenberg, a seasoned political strategist and environmental policy expert, leads one of the country’s most prestigious and respected environmental non-profits. The Everglades Foundation has an annual operating budget of more than $10 million.
As CEO, Eikenberg oversees a team of nationally recognized scientists, educators, lobbyists, and communications and development professionals who work together to achieve a decades-long campaign to restore America’s Everglades – roughly three million acres of endangered habitat that is vital to Florida’s economic and environmental viability.
