Experience

1. Campaign Director

   Healing Our Waters - Great Lakes Coalition

   Jul 2013 — Present · Madison, WI, US

   The Healing Our Waters-Great Lakes Coalition consists of more than 120 environmental, conservation, outdoor recreation organizations, zoos, aquariums and museums representing millions of people, whose common goal is to restore and protect the Great Lakes.Ambs assumed the reins of the 120-member Coalition at an important time (July, 2013): Over the last four years the federal government has invested more than $1.3 billion in restoration programs to restore habitat, clean up toxic pollution, combat invasive species and prevent runoff from cities and farms. Restoration programs are producing results—but there is more work to do. “I consider the Great Lakes home, and I’m excited about the opportunity to do my part to help protect and restore them,” said Todd Ambs. “I look forward to working with our Coalition members, partners and allies to make sure that restoration efforts don’t falter.” - For more information visit or follow us on twitter @healthylakes
