Welcome Shannon! Our new Community Partnerships Director.
In January 2017, the Friends received a major donation from the Elizabeth G. Maughan Charitable Foundation to support and develop our capacity building efforts over the next two years.
Shannon Browne
The Friends hired Shannon Browne, a current graduate student with the SOU Environmental Education program and last year’s stellar Student Board Member, to head this effort on a half-time basis. Shannon is a Pacific Northwest native, with a major affinity for the outdoors and conservation. She comes to us with a strong professional background in marketing, interpretation, and outreach. Previously, she worked with the National Park Service at Crater Lake and Oregon Caves, as well as with the Sierra Club in San Francisco.
Shannon will work to build capacity with new and diverse constituents and organizations. These efforts will play a vital role in increasing our visibility and outreach services to communities surrounding the monument.
Join us in welcoming Shannon as she works to expand the Friends’ reach of engaging people to understand, and act to conserve, the biodiversity that makes Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument so special.
We thank the Elizabeth G. Maughan Charitable Foundation for their confidence in our mission to support the protection, restoration and conservation of Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument through service, advocacy, and education.
