2019 Extension Advocate Award

Brittany Lee is honored for her dedication, Tireless Advocacy for UF/IFAS

- Jack Payne

Blueberry Extension Coordinator Doug Phillips may not have a bigger supporter than Brittany Lee. In fact, she’s one of the main reasons the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences employs Doug Phillips.

For years, Lee had asked me to create a statewide blueberry Extension position. Not just me either. She made her request known throughout UF/IFAS.
