Six champions of bird conservation were recognized in Snowbird, Utah on August 28, 2013, at the 5th Annual International Partners In Flight (PIF) Conference including the SJV’s own Jennie Duberstein. This prestigious award recognizes outstanding achievements in bird conservation throughout the Americas in the areas of communications, education, innovative leadership, insightful ecological investigation, lifetime achievements, and sound land stewardship. Duberstein received the Public Awareness Award for her work in the United States and Mexico bringing training and materials to communities, schools and biologists, and helping to share critical bird conservation messages across borders. She was also recognized for her role as chair of the National Migratory Bird Joint Ventures (JV) Communications, Education, and Outreach Team, which developed a strategy that raised the profile of JVs among members of Congress.
Congratulations, Jennie!
