Tecolutla Turtle Preservation Project Board

Chairperson - Laura Kiehner

A family trip to Mexico in 2002 was the beginning of an unexpected chapter in Laura's life. Founding and chairing a non-profit organization was never in this musician's plans, but she was inspired to do so by the passion and spirit of generosity she witnessed in Tecolutla. Laura feels deeply honored to help her heroes, who are working to save an endangered species!

Vice Chairperson - Lazaro Herrera

Lazaro's bond with Fernando is not just one of shared interest in the environment, but also one of a truly enduring friendship.  Serving on the board of TTPP has provided Laz the opportunity to sustain and expand the efforts of his friend.
