Upon assuming the chairmanship of the Dolphin Research Center's board of trustees, Lappin said, "My main goal is to build membership and financial support for the DRC, thereby ensuring the continuing existence of both dolphins and the very-much-at-risk manatee population. To do so - and avail myself of the best expertise available - my first order of business will be to expand the board with qualified individuals who are as committed to the cause as I am."
