Dear Cultural Survival Community,
I wanted to share with you some news about an exciting transition happening at Cultural Survival in 2024. After nearly four and half years as the Executive Director of Cultural Survival, I will be transitioning at the request of the Securing Indigenous Peoples Rights in the Green Economy (SIRGE) Coalition's Executive Committee to take on leadership at the Coalition.
