At its May meeting, NeighborSpace welcomed three new board members: 

Carolyn Cecil , a licensed clinical social worker who is active in various conservation projects in and around Idlewylde, where she lives.  Carolyn has already volunteered on several spring projects, including efforts to clean up the NeighborSpace Beech Avenue site in Overlea in preparation for community meetings to discuss the site's future uses and related design elements.  NeighborSpace hopes to tap Carolyn's expertise in advancing its work on food insecurity and disconnected youth.

Tim Beadell , a land acquisitions specialist at Resource Environmental Solutions, a firm providing ecological restoration and water resource solutions. Tim lives in Glenarm and is active with the non-profit Ducks Unlimited, which is focused on the conservation of wetlands and associated upland habitats for waterfowl and other wildlife. NeighborSpace will look to Tim for expertise in evaluating conservation and stewardship projects.

Eric Lamb , a lawyer from Catonsville who previously served on the County Planning Board. Eric is the founding owner of Property Title & Escrow, has broad expertise in real estate law, and is active in the Catonsville community. NeighborSpace will look to Eric for expertise in evaluating conservation projects and advancing open space policies.

Carolyn, Tim and Eric join 10 other members of the NeighborSpace Board of Directors with backgrounds in architecture, landscape architecture, planning, real estate, finance, community activism, and academia.
