About Paul Black
I dislike talking about myself so I’ll borrow from 2024’s Harriet Keyserling Green Tie Award for Conservation Advocacy Blurb—/—Paul Black, a life long South Carolinian & University of South Carolina graduate, has been a passionate advocate for South Carolina\'s air, land, and water since joining CVSC in 2018 as a Regional Field Director and later as Mobilization & Data Manager. During this time, he galvanized advocates across the state to take action in support of transformational legislation including reauthorizing the South Carolina Conservation Bank, stopping offshore drilling, and passing the Energy Freedom Act. In 2022, Paul transitioned to the Sierra Club as a Senior Field Organizer, focusing on building resilient communities. Earlier this year, Paul played a pivotal role in defeating a dangerous fossil fuel-backed energy bill in the General Assembly.Paul\'s commitment to meaningful engagement and capacity-building within the environmental community has empowered countless individuals to become effective advocates for conservation. His willingness to share knowledge and resources, provide guidance, and inspire others exemplifies his dedication to cultivating the next generation of environmental leaders and embodies the spirit and legacy of Harriet Keyserling.
