Organizations, institutions, and individuals seeking to promote more inclusive environments can join a meaningful conversation on the history of inclusivity and the outdoors at Field Inclusive’s (FI) Anniversary webinar to celebrate the day our organization was founded on Friday, August 23 beginning at 2 p.m. Eastern.
FI is thrilled to officially announce this year’s anniversary webinar speaker, Dr. Mamie Parker.
Dr. Parker’s nearly three-decade-long career as a fish and wildlife biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) spanned various locations across the country. Her exceptional leadership within the agency earned her the prestigious Ira Gabrielson Award FWS Leadership Award and the distinction of being the first Black FWS Regional Director and Senior Executive Service in the FWS. She is on the board of directors of the National Wildlife Federation, Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Duke University Nicholas School of the Environment, The Nature Conservancy Virginia Chapter, American University School of Public Affairs, Ducks Unlimited, and the Student Conservation Association.
“We are beyond thrilled to have Dr. Parker as our speaker for this year’s anniversary webinar in celebration of two years since our organization was founded,” says Lauren D. Pharr, Field Inclusive co-founder and CFO. “Mamie is the prefect representation of a ground-breaker on inclusivity, and she will bring a strong voice and story to support FI’s mission and vision.”
Field Inclusive strives to bring strong speakers into this space to discuss the history of inequities when it comes to the participation of minorities in the outdoors with the goal of helping others to understand why organizations like Field Inclusive are important.
