The Sierra Club-John Muir Chapter is pleased to introduce Bill Davis as Chapter Director. Davis assumed the position on August 10th and will work closely with the volunteer Executive Committee and three Chapter staff members to guide the chapter’s operations, fundraising and conservation work.
Davis has an impressive resume which includes degrees in Wildlife Ecology and Law from the University of Wisconsin as well as executive experience at three different organizations, State Environmental Leadership Program, Citizens for a Better Environment and Wisconsin's Environmental Decade. Over the course of his career he has worked on energy, groundwater, air and water quality issues as well as transportation and land-use. In his various positions, Bill has been responsible for all aspects of an organization's operations, as well as program work such as litigation, legislative and administrative lobbying, and provision of internal legal counsel.
Executive Committee Chair, James Kerler had this to say about hiring Bill, “Bill brings a rich background of working across state boundaries to build stronger environmental non-profits. He is known and respected by those in our movement and we will benefit from the organizational skills and wisdom he brings to us.”
Davis has already begun reaching out to Sierra Club groups across the state and hopes to attend local meetings to introduce himself and share his vision for the club. He looks forward to working with Sierra Club members and allies to restore Wisconsin’s conservation heritage.
