Metcalf Institute gratefully acknowledges the donors whose generous contributions established Metcalf Institute\u2019s Annual Robert Leeson, Jr., Lecture. <\/p>\n

The Leeson Lecture was created in recognition of Rob\u2019s outstanding service as a long-serving member of Metcalf Institute’s Advisory Board and his dedicated support of many environmental causes. Rob believes deeply in Metcalf\u2019s 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\u2019s donor base and raise the Institute’s profile, and by acting as one of the Institute\u2019s greatest advocates.<\/p>\nView Past Leeson Lectures<\/a>\n
