“I’m thrilled to volunteer at this historic Tedx event, which spotlights the precious and fragile ecology of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. This unique gathering provides a refreshing opportunity to dream, innovate and plan for a bright future; one that is in harmony with nature and rich in diverse cultural and educational opportunities.”
