our leadership team
Native Fish Coalition's National Board is made up of our Executive Director, National Chair, National Vice Chairs, and State Chairs. The board sets the direction for the organization and provides support to the state chapters. We have recruited a strong team of experienced subject matter experts and advocates with a wide range of valuable skill sets and knowledge, a passion for wild native fish, and a willingness to stand up to protect, preserve and restore them.
