Protecting California's Natural Resources
Feb. 25, 2020
Josh Zulliger currently works as a Game Warden with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and has worked with the Department for the last 11 years. Working in law enforcement, however, was not always Josh's dream. In 1995, Josh joined the United States Cost Guard. After a year on a Coast Guard Cutter in Alaska Josh transferred to Humboldt Bay where he finished his tour in the United Stated Coast Guard. He later received a degree from Humboldt State University in Industrial Technology with the hopes of becoming a high school shop teacher. Those dreams never became reality however, as Josh gained a passion for the outdoors and the oceans of the North Coast. In 2008, he became a Game Warden, assigned to patrolling the rivers, streams, and oceans of the North Coast from southern Mendocino County to the Oregon border. In 2016 he joined one of the Department's first Watershed Enforcement Teams (now Cannabis Enforcement Teams), which works with biologists to protect California's natural resources from exploitation by those in the legal and illegal cannabis industry. Josh currently lives and works in Humboldt County, the heart of the "Emerald Triangle". He lives near the City of Fortuna with his fiancé (an elk biologist) and their small family of dogs, cat, beef, and chickens. |

Girl Scouts of Northern California
Aug. 25, 2020
They will discuss how they've invested donations made by Rotary to improve Girl Scout programs. Michelle McCormick, Chief Mission Delivery Officer, has worked for Girl Scouts for almost 40 years. She has been involved in all aspects of the organization that provide direct services to our members - from membership development, adult training, and program management, to community outreach, outdoor program, property management, and product sales. Michelle has many wonderful memories as a camper and staff member at various Girl Scout camps. She even worked at Skylark Ranch one summer! Little did she know then that she would make her career as a professional Girl Scout in the same council. Kate Cowan, Director of Institutional Giving, has been at GSNorCal for five and a half years. She and her team work with foundations, corporations, and other organizations whose values align with Girl Scouts and are passionate about investing in the future of girls. Much to her mother’s disappointment, she didn’t like camping much, but she still stayed in Girl Scouts until high school anyway. Her troop camped at Camp Bothin and walked across the Golden Gate Bridge when they bridged from Juniors to Cadettes. She has many fond memories of earning badges and learning how to cook with her troop! |
