Greta Schuerch of Kiana, Alaska, is external and government affairs liaison for NANA Development Corp. Her professional experience includes roles with the Alaska Legislature, Inuit Circumpolar Conference, the Alaska Humanities Forum and the North Slope Borough. She has comprehensive knowledge of rural issues and extensive experience in Northwest Arctic Borough communities.
The newly elected trustees join the Alaska civic, business and academic leaders who currently serve on The Nature Conservancy’s Alaska Board of Trustees, which guides the nonprofit organization’s conservation and fundraising.
Since 1988, The Nature Conservancy has worked in diverse partnerships to create innovative solutions to natural resource challenges all across Alaska. The state’s salmon streams, forests and coasts - as well as the people who rely - have all benefitted from conservancy projects.
