• Shellfish Growers Climate Coalition

  • Sep 2020 - Jul 2021

  The Shellfish Growers Climate Coalition, a project of The Nature Conservancy, is made up of 250+ businesses nationwide that are concerned with climate impacts on the shellfish industry and demand legislative action. In one year I drove the entire coast of the continental U.S. recruiting new members to grow the size and visibility of the coalition. Membership grew by over 70% as a result of my efforts. I also developed strategy, language, and materials to amplify the SGCC message. I represented Washington State at the 2020 and 2021 SGCC Capitol Fly-ins.
