Audubon snags ex-Obama EPA official
Joel Beauvais, a veteran of the Obama EPA and Exelon, is joining the National Audubon Society to work on conservation and climate programs.
Audubon hired Beauvais for a newly created position as its managing director for North America, Beauvais posted on LinkedIn this week.
'I'll be leading Audubon's conservation and climate programs in the United States and Canada, overseeing a staff of 500 including Audubon's state and regional offices across the country,' Beauvais wrote. 'I'm excited to join this great team working with communities and stakeholders across the hemisphere to protect birds and the places they need and mitigate climate change.'
