We went to the Capella Hotel in Georgetown for the National Park Trust's American Park Experience Award Luncheon. We snapped Department of Interior Secretary Sally Jewell receiving the American Park Experience Award for her work to protect and expand American lands, enhance the park experience, and to connect our nation’s youth to the outdoors. She's joined by National Park Trust Board chair Bill Brownell and students from local schools who have participated in the Kids to Parks National Scholarship Program.
The American Park Experience Award was established in 2009 to recognize those who have made outstanding contributions to enhance awareness and appreciation of national parks, wildlife refuges, and historic landmarks. Here, NPT Trustee Jennifer Curtin and executive director Grace Lee with IBM's Dave Abel.
Guests enjoyed a lavish three-course lunch with a white fish entree and pineapple tart for dessert. Here, trustee Neal Kemkar joins First Solar's Kathy Weiss.
