Linda has been employed by the University of Rhode Island as a Research Associate for over twenty-five years. She has been Director of the URI Watershed Watch program since 1988. This science-based volunteer water quality monitoring program generates virtually all of the RI lake water quality monitoring data and is the steppingstone for URI Cooperative Extension water quality education programs. In 1994 Linda received the URI Cooperative Extension Educator of the Year award and in 1999 an Environmental Protection Agency Merit Award, primarily for her efforts promoting volunteer monitoring. Linda is also active on a regional and national scale with volunteer monitoring. She has represented the volunteer monitoring community on the 35-member National Water Quality Monitoring Council since 1997, and co-chairs its Collaboration and Outreach work group. Linda is a founding member of the New England Regional Monitoring Collaborative. She is the RI representative and treasurer of the New England chapter of the North American Lake Management Society. She was on the Steering Committee for both the 2000 National Water Quality Monitoring Council Conference, Monitoring for the Millennium, and the 2000 National Volunteer Monitoring Conference, Moving Into the Mainstream. She co-chaired and convened the 2002 National Water Quality Monitoring Conference, Building a Framework for the Future. She is a principal investigator for one of the first three USDA/CSREES National Facilitation grants, National Facilitation of Extension Volunteer Water Quality Programs, which RI shares with Wisconsin. She is frequently called upon to make presentations about volunteer water quality monitoring, training volunteers, and quality assurance procedures using volunteers.
