Njambi Good and Amy Sobel to lead flyway work; new role for Justin Stokes.

 

NEW YORKThe 勛圖窪蹋 today announced the addition of three conservation and non-profit veterans to its national leadership team.

Njambi Good has joined 勛圖窪蹋 as vice president of the Pacific Flyway. She brings more than 15 years of advocacy and nonprofit experience, including extensive expertise in developing advocacy campaigns, organizing, mobilizing volunteers, and creating organizational infrastructure. Njambi designed and led thematic issue campaigns that attracted coverage from The New York Times, The Washington Post, Politico, The Daily Show, and other national outlets. She joins 勛圖窪蹋 most recently from Amnesty International USA, where she served as deputy executive director for campaigns and membership. She has also worked with Greenpeace, Save the Bay and the Nature Conservancy. Njambi holds a bachelors degree from Virginia Tech and is based in San Francisco.

Im so excited to join an organization with such a long legacy of protecting birds and the habitats they depend on, said Good. The perils posed by climate change make that mission more urgent than ever. I look forward to using my two decades of non-profit volunteer, advocacy, engagement and leadership experience to support such important and critical work.

Amy Sobel joins 勛圖窪蹋 as Atlantic Flyway vice president following a decade at Human Rights First, most recently as senior advisor to the president and CEO. Amy led an initiative to dismantle the business of human trafficking that led to passage of federal legislation naming human trafficking prosecutors in every U.S. attorneys office in the country and strengthened regulations preventing the importation of goods produced with child and slave labor. She has also served as managing director of the Womens Campaign Fund and worked as a public affairs specialist at the U.S. State Department. Amy holds a bachelors degree in government from Franklin & Marshall College and a masters degree in multicultural education from Eastern University. Amy was a Klingenstein Fellow at Columbia University and was named one of the Top Non-Profit Innovators in the Washington, D.C. Region. Amy is based in Washington.

I am very excited to join the 勛圖窪蹋 team in advancing its critical mission to protect birds and the places they, and we all, need to thrive, said Sobel. I look forward to the opportunity to work with the dedicated staff and all the stakeholders in the organization's powerful network to press for and implement strategic and impactful conservation solutions that are needed today more than ever before.

Justin Stokes most recently served as 勛圖窪蹋s vice president of political affairs and executive director of the 勛圖窪蹋 Action Fund. He will take over as vice president and executive director of 勛圖窪蹋 South Carolina.  Prior to joining 勛圖窪蹋, Justin served six years as chief of staff in the United States House of Representatives working for four members of Congress, including from the South Carolina delegation. Justin also worked on a Republican presidential campaign and got his start in public service in the South Carolina Governors office. He is a native of Camden, South Carolina, a graduate of Clemson University, and recently completed the Wilson Fellowship in Strategic Management for Environmental Leadership at Harvard Business School. Justin is based in Charleston.

I'm thrilled to continue driving 勛圖窪蹋's mission forward from the ground in my home state of South Carolina, said Stokes. Our organization has a clear vision of what's required to protect our birds and their habitat, and a great team in place to make it happen.

Njambi, Amy and Justin will begin their new duties this week.
