SHEPHERDSTOWN,
WV – The Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA) is pleased to announce
that Greg Moore, formerly of Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife, will be
joining AFWA's Management Assistance Team and the National Conservation
Leadership Institute as the Professional Development Programs Manager.
Moore's
passion for preserving our fish and wildlife heritage is evident in his
life-long career in wildlife management. He holds a Master's in Wildlife
Ecology from the University of Delaware, and recently retired as the Wildlife
Section Administrator from Delaware’s DNR after 40 years of service.
In pursuit
of his second passion--leadership ideology--Moore has also worked closely with
the Management Assistance Team on numerous projects, including course
development and delivery. He has been a part of MAT’s National Faculty for four
years and most recently served as MAT’s part-time Contract Coordinator.
Moore also
has been actively involved in the National Conservation Leadership Institute
since graduating from the program in 2012 as an alumnus of Cohort 6. He
returned as a peer coach for Cohorts 7 and 8, where he provided guidance,
support and structured feedback to incoming Fellows as they completed the
program.
“I am
truly delighted to welcome Greg to AFWA, NCLI and the MAT family,” said Gina
Main, Director of Professional Development for AFWA's MAT and NCLI Executive
Director. “Greg fully embodies the dedication, passion and deep commitment to
serving and empowering the stewards in fish and wildlife who help preserve our
natural resources legacy. Greg will be a tremendous asset to the team, the
people we serve, and the work we do.”
In
describing his involvement with leadership development, Greg identified his
motivation as a “keen interest in how to make organizations more resilient and
effective in resolving difficult problems.”
“I am
excited about this opportunity to work for MAT and to serve the
conservation community,” said Moore. “Having been associated with MAT on
several projects as a state agency employee, I know the caliber and importance
of the leadership training they provide and I hope to be able to contribute to
the legacy established by the staff. As a fellow of NCLI, I am also looking
forward to promoting this program and the value it brings
to conservation agencies.”
Moore begins
his tenure at AFWA on September 17, 2014.
