Award goes to members who are judged to have advanced the profession,

John Moran, a University of Florida journalism graduate,
spent 23 years with The Gainesville Sun, but now
devotes full time to documenting Florida’s natural habitats.
Traveling the Sunshine State with his cameras, Moran
seeks his vision of natural Florida as it must have appeared
to Ponce de Leon. Moran’s work celebrates the magic of
a unique landscape blessed by beauty and born of water
from the Gulf to the Atlantic, with emphasis on rivers,
lakes, coasts, swamps, and springs, and the creatures that inhabit them. His photography
has appeared in National Geographic, Life, Time, Newsweek, Smithsonian, Outside, Sierra,
and The New York Times Magazine, and on the cover of the National Audubon Society Field
Guide to Florida. He was recognized by the National Press Photographers Association, and has
received numerous awards. His photograph of alligators at dusk at Paynes Prairie Preserve
State Park was selected as the top American photograph at the United Nations Earth Summit.
His Journal of Light: The Visual Diary of a Florida Nature Photographer, a 20-year
collection of photos and essays, was published by University Press of Florida in 2004.
Dr. Susan Elizabeth Smith holds a Bachelor of Nursing and a Doctorate in Community
Health and Development from the University of Calgary, a Masters of Public Health degree,
and a Nurse Practitioner diploma. Her Caminamos Juntos para Salud y Desarrollo is a nongovernmental
organization working since 1997 in community health and development in
Tlamacazapa, an Indigenous village of 6,400 people in the State of Guerrero, Mexico. This
organization and its water and sanitation, health and healing, and income generation programs
exemplify the complexity of intersectoral work in a rural context of oppression and
poverty, with interdisciplinary, participatory research on environmental contaminants
affecting a malnourished population, and the subsequent toxic synergistic effects on health.
Dr. Smith has written numerous articles and reports on social participation, women’s health,
reproductive health, community health, and participatory action research. Formerly, as Senior
Consultant / Health Advisor to the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), she
worked on short-term assignments in Pakistan (2005-2006), Nigeria (2000-2004), Indonesia
(2002, 2000), Malawi, Bolivia, Peru, Chile, Honduras, Bangladesh, and China, and in other
challenging postings around the world. These include work as Medical Director of a refugee
camp of 100,000 on the Sudan/Ethiopian border. She is currently Adjunct Associate Professor
on the Faculty of Nursing, University of Calgary and in the School of Nursing Faculty of
Medicine, McGill University.
The Keynote Breakfast is included for all Full, Student, and Wednesday-Daily Registrants.
