“Schoodic Institute has a well-earned reputation for exploring and analyzing environmental challenges, informing decisions that are urgently needed. I am thrilled and honored to support this consequential work and amplify its success. I encourage anyone who also values our mission to reach out to me. There are many fantastic programs, events and ways to participate,” said Kettler.
Kettler’s recent development successes include the creation of a mission communications plan for The Vos Foundation, a climate change solutions organization; grant and prospect research for The Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government; ongoing management of the Logan Dunne Memorial Scholarship Fund at the Cape Cod Foundation; and development communications for Protect Our Cape Cod Aquifer.
