Published: June 9, 2010, 6:14 a.m.

b'David Grant set a high standard during 12 years as president of the Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge Foundation in Morristown. He sharpened the philanthropy\'s focus to "creativity and sustainability," and came up with innovative ways to assess progress. \\n\\nHis successor, Christopher Daggett, ran for governor in 2009 and comes from an environmental background. He hopes to develop programs to teach leadership skills, and to promote basic research as Bell Labs once did.\\n\\nIn this wide-ranging conversation with Kevin Coughlin of MorristownGreen.com, David shares his insights and Chris says his policy-oriented style is not really as different from David\'s approach as some might think. Recorded on June 8, 2010, atop 14 Maple Ave. "green building" that is home to the foundation.'
