Mote Marine Laboratory is pleased to announce that Andria Piekarz accepted the position of Director of Development, effective Feb. 1, 2019. Ms. Piekarz will apply her philanthropic leadership experience to Mote’s mission of marine science, conservation and public education.
Piekarz, most recently the Director of Philanthropy for the Conservation Foundation of the Gulf Coast, will lead major growth in fundraising efforts for Mote — an independent, nonprofit research institution — across its diverse array of more than 20 marine science programs, along with its education and outreach programs that translate scientific discoveries to benefit marine ecosystems and the public. Philanthropic giving is essential to Mote’s success, accounting for 40 percent of the funding for Mote’s Research Division in the past year and complementing the array of competitive government grants and agreements secured by Mote scientists.
