I work as a Business Manager for Moe & Nevin, Insurance Adjusters, an Independent Insurance Adjusting Company in Duluth, Minnesota. I have a husband, a 10-month-old daughter and 3 dogs. I have always enjoyed the arts and nature and believe strongly in Environmental Education. I believe the Stormwater Garden is a unique and interactive way to combine these three ideas. I am excited for the project and look forward to it coming to fruition.

 Jill Jacoby, Founder & Executive Director   Jill Jacoby - Founder & Executive Director
I began delving into art and science collaborations when I was project manager for the St. Louis River Watch program in Duluth, Minnesota. In June of 1995 I traveled to the city of Chengdu in China as a member of an international team of artists and scientists assembled to create art related to water quality. Returning to Duluth I realized that what I wanted to do was to try and replicate some of the community energy and art-based projects that were so successful in Chengdu.  I created Sweetwater Alliance in 2002 as a vehicle to move theses type of art and science collaborations forward. I am blessed to have a very talented, creative, and committed board of directors working along with me. Jill Jacoby's CV - a PDF, 122K.
