Fellow RiverLink staff members expressed appreciation of Artz’s work and said he will be missed.
“He is very friendly, very likeable, very supportive of the folks that work for him. A champion of the staff,” said Katy Palombi, operations manager at RiverLink. “Conservation-minded, for sure, and he’s been a great leader.”
Palombi, a co-worker for the past three years, said Artz has done great work building the staff. Given that RiverLink is a nonprofit, building the staff is a task that, according to Palombi, can be challenging. She also said Artz has ensured the staff is not only supported, but also has the tools needed for success.
