Program Educator
Jennifer Dindinger, Senior Agent
Program Description
The Agent’s primary responsibility is to work with
local and state governments, non-governmental
organizations, regional partners, University researchers,
and communities in Dorchester, Somerset,
Wicomico, and Worcester counties to improve local
water quality.
This is accomplished by providing technical assistance
and science-based educational programs on
stormwater management, individual behavior
change, civic engagement, and community development
that lead to a reduction in nonpoint source
pollution.
We work with local governments, community
groups and residents to help improve water
quality on the local level and in the Bay.
