Ô¼ÅÚÊÓƵ Florida would not be able to deliver much needed conservation results for our state without the generous support of our donors. Each year, we recognize a Philanthropist of the Year, celebrating the spirit of generosity that makes this work possible.
This year, Ô¼ÅÚÊÓƵ Florida recognizes Carol Timmis as our 2021 Distinguished Philanthropist.
As a longtime member and current Vice Chair of the Ô¼ÅÚÊÓƵ Florida Board of Directors, Timmis has been a conservation leader for nearly 30 years. She brings sophistication and expertise honed during her finance career to bear on her conservation work, supporting Ô¼ÅÚÊÓƵ advocacy and science with her own gifts, while recruiting others to the cause. Carol founded and chairs the Development Committee of Ô¼ÅÚÊÓƵ Florida’s Board of Directors and is a thought leader among her peers, elevating philanthropy and fundraising in service to conservation.
Her love for Roseate Spoonbills encouraged her to help sponsor the deployment of a satellite tracker on a Roseate Spoonbill by our Everglades Science team to trace the birds’ movements.
