The Salazar Center is proud to announce that Patty Richards, Communities and Conservation Advisor, Yellowstone to Yukon Initiative (Y2Y), will be joining us in Denver, Colorado for the fifth-annual International Symposium on Conservation Impact.
Patty joined the Yellowstone to Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative team after rewarding careers in not-for-profit and energy arenas – focused on communications and social performance. She brings her skills in pragmatic and collaborative community relations and communication to Y2Y and is happily astonished to continue learning (at this late stage in her career) about conservation science and the value of connected landscapes.
She has a Master’s degree in Communications (focus on social marketing) and an undergraduate degree in Art History. Her informal education, volunteer work, and playtime are focused in the Rocky Mountains of Southwest Alberta and include board work for the environmental granting arm of the Calgary Foundation and hiking and skiing across the region.
