Metcalf Institute gratefully acknowledges the donors whose generous contributions established Metcalf Institute’s Annual Robert Leeson, Jr., Lecture. 

The Leeson Lecture was created in recognition of Rob’s outstanding service as a long-serving member of Metcalf Institute’s Advisory Board and his dedicated support of many environmental causes. Rob believed deeply in Metcalf’s mission to advance informed conversations about science and the environment. He demonstrated that deep commitment again and again during his 14 years of service by working tirelessly to increase Metcalf’s donor base and raise the Institute’s profile, and by acting as one of the Institute’s greatest advocates.
