ALAN STUART, ROCK HILL
BOARD CHAIR

WHY - I joined the South Carolina Wildlife Federation Board because it provides a very   rewarding opportunity to utilize my educational training, knowledge of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem management and admiration of SC's critical natural resources. I am lucky in that I work in an industry and for a corporation that places an extremely high value on the environment which results in an alignment of our core values.  Serving on the Board of Directors provides a unique partnering opportunity allowing me to work closely with the SCWF to ensure sustainability/protection of SC's critical ecosystems and natural resources while providing our State with cleaner renewable energy.
