About Mary Jo Snavely

After 20 years working to implement sustainable solutions - I remain optimistic and excited for the opportunities we have to make the world better for people and nature. I use my naturally buzzing energy to spark high impact initiatives and bring stronger winds to existing projects. Growing up in a multi-cultural family with one crunchy-granola parent and one chemist parent, I feel at home interpreting and aligning science, values, and action. The joy in my work comes from helping every individual and organization understand what they can do to be part of the sustainable opportunities ahead. Let\'s work together!
