PART OF OUR LCRP FAMILY:
Cheyenne Steffen has been absolutely critical in bringing LCRP's website to life. With an extremely generous kickstart by our dear friend and colleague Debra Curtin, founder of New England Primate Conservancy, we were able to get the site off the ground. Cheyenne then came from the heavens, contacting us and offering to take the site to the next level. She has worked tirelessly for months to get the site where it is today, including very patiently dealing with constant requests, changes and indecision for which I will be eternally grateful. My heart is full! |
