   LEADERSHIP

 

The tremendously successful accomplishments of “Stewards of the Earth” are  attributable to the strong, active, tireless leadership and community involvement of its Executive Director, Board of Directors, volunteer team, advisers, the local, State and national organizations and individuals with whom we network and work. We support each other, complement and avoid duplication of work primarily because there is so much work to do and so few financial resources available to combat huge corporate entities that have billions/millions to spend.
