Chief Program Officer | August 2

The Chief Program Officer reports directly to the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and provides leadership, supervision, oversight and management of the organization’s programmatic offerings to land trusts and other stakeholders. Those programmatic offerings are administered through three departments: (1) Education; (2) Conservation Initiatives; and (3) Community-centered Conservation, which focuses on engaging people who have not traditionally been involved in or served by conservation. While the Education and Conservation Initiative departments are well-established, the Community-centered Conservation department is nascent and unstaffed. Accordingly, an early focus of the CPO will be on launching, staffing and building that department by applying his or her experience in implementing inclusion and engagement strategies both within organizations and with external constituencies. Learn more.
