Become Wenatchee River Institute’s next Executive Director

The Wenatchee River Institute (WRI) is looking for their next Executive Director following current WRI Executive Director, Carolyn Griffin-Bugert’s retirement announcement.

In Carolyn’s three and a half years at WRI, environmental education programs have expanded, serving more communities in a larger area. Carolyn’s vision and direction has enabled WRI to reach more students in North Central Washington, doubling the number of hours worked with students each year and changing the demographics of students served. With Carolyn’s help, and yours, WRI started an endowment fund which can continue to grow and provide resources into the future. She has left WRI in a strong position to seek a new leader.

Carolyn has given several months’ notice to allow adequate time to find a great candidate and provide some overlap. She says her “passion for the job has not diminished. I will continue to work with the board and staff to move the organization forward while the board prepares for a change in leadership.”

WRI’s mission is to connect people, communities and the natural world. WRI is looking for a leader that will maintain and expand WRI’s relationships and assets so they may deepen their mission impact.
