Anne-Marie Davee receives Harry Faust Leadership Award from Bicycle Coalition of Maine

Anne-Marie Davee, MS, SNAP-Ed Nutrition Program Coordinator for 色香视频鈥檚 School of Community and Population Health (SCPH), was recently awarded the Harry Faust Leadership Award from the Bicycle Coalition of Maine.

In November 2011, she took part in the coalition鈥檚 Community Spokes training where she developed her community mobilization skills and received a toolkit with in-depth information on advocacy, and bike/ped programs, policies, and projects.

During the summer of 2012, Davee put this training to use when she helped create the task force with the intention of assessing community access to walking, biking, and hiking. This data has been used to develop a plan to support active living among residents and visitors to the Freeport area. Davee has been instrumental in involving hundreds of residents and neighbors in the planning process. The Task Force has received over 700 completed surveys seeking input from locals to inform the active living plan.

A Freeport resident, Davee is a founding member and chair of the Freeport Active Living Task Force.
