DJ Case worked with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to coordinate the christening and commissioning ceremony for the M/V Spencer F. Baird, a much-awaited research and fish-stocking ship for the Great Lakes. Under a tight deadline, DJ Case coordinated all aspects of the ceremony, including program planning, communications outreach, site logistics, budget and more. The event was lauded by Service leaders as a major success to help the Service communicate important messages about the Baird and Great Lakes conservation to key audiences.
