CHANGES IN SCB'S EXECUTIVE OFFICE

Several staff changes recently have taken place in SCB's Executive Office. After five years, Membership Coordinator Kat Powers has left SCB to work with the Cheetah Conservation Fund as Director of North America Operations. We wish her the best in her new adventure.

Our new point of contact for membership and outreach is Laura Walko (lwalko@conbio.org). Prior to joining SCB, Laura worked as Communications Specialist for the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management as well as for NOAA's Office of Habitat Conservation and the Restoration Center. Laura holds a M.S. in natural resources from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and a B.A. in history from James Madison University.

Our new assistant, Marli Kauffmann (mkaufmann@conbio.org), will be involved with the administrative and support functions of the Executive Office. Marli was raised in Trinity County in northern California, but more recently lived in Arkansas, USA, where she received a B.S. in English from Hendrix College. Marli's strong interest in conservation led her to spend two summers working at a wildlife sanctuary in Thailand before relocating to the Washington, D.C. area.

Heather DeCaluwe (hdecaluwe@conbio.org), previously SCB' Executive Assistant, has been promoted into a new position, Finance and Governance Manager. Heather will assume responsibility for many of the operations functions of SCB and continue working with SCB's finances and various governing boards.
