SUMMARY:Capitol Conversations: A Look At Wildlife Refuge Conservation In 2025
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special Refuge Friends webinar where Desirée Sorenson-Groves\, President & CEO\, of the National Wildlife Refuge Association\, will break down what’s happening on Capitol Hill and what it means for national wildlife refuges\, conservation funding\, and grassroots advocacy in 2025. With a new Congress in session\, new players at the Department of Interior and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service\, and key policy decisions ahead\, this is a great opportunity to learn how Refuge Friends and supporters can engage in advocacy efforts to protect and strengthen the National Wildlife Refuge System. \nPresenter \n\nDesirée Sorenson-Groves re-joined the Refuge Association in October 2024 as the President and CEO. Her career has been focused on protecting and enhancing the National Wildlife Refuge System\, first as a grassroots organizer for the National Audubon Society\, then as the Vice President of Government Affairs for the Refuge Association. After 14 years at NWRA\, Sorenson-Groves became the Director of the Arctic Refuge Defense Campaign where she managed an Indigenous-led\, multi-pronged effort to stop any development in the Arctic Refuge. She comes back to NWRA after leading Defenders of Wildlife’s public and private lands programs as their Vice President of Land & Habitat Conservation. She has a B.A. in Geography from George Washington University and resides in Fort Valley\, VA with her husband and two Chesapeake Bay Retrievers.\n\nSign Up!
