OUR TEAM
Staff
C2S2's work is carried out by a small, dedicated team of staff and powered by the many people who volunteer their time alongside them. Our Board of Directors, Advisory Board, and committee members bring decades of combined expertise in wildlife management, science, and conservation leadership, guiding our programs and helping set our strategic direction. Together with our staff, this network of people—each contributing their own expertise—is what makes C2S2's work possible.
