Review for Ecological Options Network, Bolinas, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am a Professor of Management Systems, Environmental Economics and Statistics. The information and videos provided by EON allowed me to maintain expertise in this field regarding California Pesticides when I was unavailable to attend a variety of hearings and board meetings. Even those I attended, I consistently used EON reports and videos for records to review the actual statements and testimony as documents for reports that I wrote. I also have been reading EON materials on numerous other subjects as that has assisted me with recognizing patterns of strategy within certain causes, particularly those attempting to fool a busy and naive public.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

using their videos and reports as foundations to the reports and press releases that I write. Only on two occassions have I seen inconsistency with EON information and my own, yet on both occassions EON was correct, and my previous information was wrong.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Add staff to their organization so they can get to more functions and activities and document even greater numbers of these functions for an anxious audience.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

EON sets a standard that I aspire to as far as selflessness, quality and technical excellence.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

I have only met two of the staff people in person. Each is technically and professionally superior and both have hearts of gold.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Bring the truth and professional videos of important events into the homes of average Americans, and even others worldwide.

Ways to make it better...

Only if I could stay up 24 hours per day.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

Funding, since the provide value for ordinary people that are not necessarily able or accustomed to making donations

One thing I'd also say is that...

I am extremely thankful to EON for allowing me to leverage my skills and successfully reach thousands of people with information from EON that I have analyzed and repackaged within my areas of expertise.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every week

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Role:  Professional with expertise in this field & I wrote three reports and issued four press releases and testified to the state senate committee on Food and Agriculture in order to stop an innefective, unnecessary and dangerous pesticide program in the State of California.
