Charles H. Callison Volunteer Award
Congratulations to Stephen Kintner from the West Volusia APP Society—winner of this year’s Callison Volunteer Award. Kintner is a leading force for his chapter in community building, community science, habitat management, and fundraising. He led the chapter’s growth in equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging, and implemented a paid chapter internship on two campuses. The Charles H. Callison Award, given by the APP, honors outstanding efforts contributed by staff and volunteers to continue APP’s mission for birds and habitat conservation.
“Stephen not only has an extensive history with APP and conservation but a boundless enthusiasm for engaging people and building community. He is creative in planning projects and successful in funding them and could not be a better partner for APP Florida and the APP Jay Watch program.” — Jacqui Sulek, Chapters Conservation Manager
