The Ecological Society of America is very pleased with the legal work done by Denise Hammond in helping our employees secure H-1B visas in order to work with the Society. We asked Denise for assistance in recruiting an editor from Great Britain for our new international journal, Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment. Not only was the editor the very best candidate hired, but the journal is an extraordinary success! As the Society's Director of Administration, it is particularly important to me that Denise has always been there when I needed her and usually on short notice.
