NWF Welcomes Two New Regional Representatives

(National Wildlife Federation)

Emily Maxwell

A former Doris Duke Conservation Fellow, Emily has served as Director and Coordinator of the Catalyst Program of Partnerships for Parks in New York, Vermont Public Interest Research Group's Field Director, and coordinator of a community greening and environmental education initiative in Philadelphia. In addition, Emily founded an organization dedicated to protecting and expanding community gardens in NYC. Emily's interest in diverse coalitions led her to co-author Building Capacity Through Diversity, a report that explores building the efficacy of the environmental movement through diverse partnerships.  Emily has a BA in Urban Studies from the New School for Social Research and an MS in Natural Resources and Environment with a specialization in Environmental Justice from the University of Michigan.  Raised in downtown Philadelphia, Emily fell in love with the outdoors, especially canoeing, kayaking, gardening, hiking, and snowshoeing during frequent trips to the Adirondack Mountains throughout her life.

Julie Lalo

Julie joins NWF's Chesapeake Mid-Atlantic office as a Regional Representative for the Mid-Atlantic (MD, DE, PA, WV, DC & NC). Julie comes from Pennsylvania where she was vice-president of communications and advocacy for 10,000 Friends of Pennsylvania, focusing on community revitalization and land use protection by directing legislative policy efforts and managing communications. Previously, she was vice president of public affairs at Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, where she directed the public policy and communications programs. She has also served on the staff of Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs. 

In 2007, she was one of the 1,000 volunteers from throughout the U.S. trained by Al Gore to present a version of the slide show featured in the Academy Award-winning film, An Inconvenient Truth.
