JOANNIE LEVINSOHN:Water Conservation
Joannie’s passion is water conservation. She was driving
down Tamalpais Dr. late one evening and was shocked at the amount
of water that water that was being wasted by sprinklers spraying
onto pavement. As she became more aware of this issue, she began
to see irresponsible water use everywhere. She has been taking
photographs of overwatering (water is running down sidewalks and
streets into the stormdrains) and reporting it to businesses and
also MMWD. She hopes to raise awareness of this issue with everyone
and hopes that we all will report water waste when we see it.

RITA NATTESTAD: Quality Management
What is quality management, and what can it do for you or your business?
Rita has been working in quality management for many years in Denmark.
She helps individuals and organizations to operate more efficiently
by evaluating their work practices and seeing where they can improve
services, profit, or customer satisfaction. The downside is that
when she does her job well, she’s out of work, but she finds
it immensely satisfying to move on to a new client.
