A cascade of resignations from The Nature Conservancy (TNC), including its four top executives; CEO Mark Tercek, President Brian McPeek, North American operations chief Mark Burget, and Global Programs head Kacky Andrews, has begun following on reports and investigations about a toxic workplace culture that reportedly stretched well beyond its D.C.-area headquarters.
With $1.3 billion in revenues last year and assets of more than $6.5 billion, the conservancy has seen recent resignations and position eliminations stretching from Martha’s Vineyard to Florida and beyond. And, in a move to stabilize the faltering behemoth, former Obama administration Interior Secretary Sally Jewell who has been on the board of The Nature Conservancy since May 2018, has been tapped to take the organization’s helm starting on September 3.
Jewell plans to immediately begin outreach to donors, local chapters, trustees and leadership in an effort to regain the conservancy’s footing. >More via POLITICO
