Experience
Senior Vice President & Director of Thriving Communities Institute
Western Reserve Land Conservancy
Dec 2020 — Present · Cleveland, OH, US
Executive Director of the Thriving Communities Institute (TCI) and Senior Vice President of Western Reserve Land Conservancy (the Land Conservancy). For those that may not be aware, the Land Conservancy’s service area includes about 20 counties in northern Ohio, and we serve a great diversity of communities including rural, exurban, and urban. We have preserved more than acres and have created more than 193 public parks and preserves. The organization’s Thriving Communities Institute (TCI) – leads all of our urban work and is a leader in the transformation of vacant and unproductive properties in urban areas into new opportunities to attract economic growth and support safe, beautiful neighborhoods. My primary focus is leading efforts to optimize policy related to these and other areas (by way of example and not by limitation): urban land use, land banking, demolition and redevelopment, parks and preserves, urban reforestation, trails and greenways, and economic development efforts.
