Conservation Florida Announces Newly Elected Board of Directors Leadership
Conservation Florida Board of Directors has elected a new slate to serve its executive committee.
Tallahassee, Fla. (March 23, 2023) - Conservation Florida is excited to welcome in a new executive committee for the 2023 year - Chair, Matt Pearce; Vice Chair, Courtney Barnard; Secretary, Eric Draper, and Treasurer, Justin Beck. These individuals bring a myriad of skills and experiences to our growing team that will help us further our mission. After 6 years of dedicated service, we're sad to say goodbye to Jeff Hardesty as a board member, but look forward to many years of conservation partnership to come.
Passionate supporters and volunteers, including former and current board members, support the organization’s mission-critical work throughout the state. Through having a Board of Directors full of professionals who come from many different backgrounds, Conservation Florida continues to increase not only its statewide presence, but also its pool of resources and expertise. What unites this Board is a shared passion for Florida’s wild spaces and places and a deep desire to conserve its precious native and natural beauty, flora and fauna.
"We are extremely thankful to have a Board of Directors filled with devoted partners who are passionate about protecting Florida's natural and agricultural landscapes," said Traci Deen, President and CEO of Conservation Florida. "I'm thrilled to work alongside our board to shape the future of conservation in Florida."
