Stan's Story
Stan Bronson is a seventh generation Floridian, born in Orlando, with undergrad education done at Florida Southern College and graduate work done at Florida Atlantic University and the University of Florida. Spending most of his career in the citrus industry, 14 years of which was COO of a large citrus operation, in 1999 he joined the extension faculty of the University of Florida, developing a natural resources education program for South Florida ecosystem restoration initiatives. That program evolved into the Florida Earth Foundation, begun in January 2002 as a University of Florida initiative. In 2004 the organization was taken out of the university system to become a 501-(c)3 nonprofit. FEF was a public-private partnership of over 120 agencies, universities, industries and not-for-profits that developed knowledge exchange programs centered on resilience, especially around the water space. In 2019, Florida Earth transitioned into the Global Center for Climate Resilience (GCCR), which was a joint effort between the US and ...Expand for more
the European Union to create an international institution designed to reduce asset risk affected by climate influenced events. GCCR has morphed into the Alliance for a Climate Resilience Earth (ACRE).
Bronson serves as Director of Partnerships for ACRE, which is an initiative with The Stimson Center, one of the world’s most renowned think tanks in Washington DC. ACRE also runs the US-Netherlands Resilience Partnership (USNRP Pro) and the US-UK Resilience Forum, which brings teams of delegates to the Netherlands and to the UK to exchange knowledge with partners and colleagues who have globally acknowledged expertise in water infrastructure and management, especially as it relates to sea-level rise adaptation. Establishing this type of knowledge exchange platform puts together those needing help in solving coastal resilience issues with those possessing expertise. Coming from a ranching family who supplied the land for Walt Disney World in the 1960’s, Stan’s love of the land has always been an inspiration throughout his career.
