A Message from Michael Lea, Board Chairperson

On behalf of the Nature Collective Board of Directors,  thank you for your commitment to and continued support of Nature Collective. San Diego’s nature endures because of you, and we are so grateful. You see the value of protecting wild spaces by generously investing in Nature Collective’s grand efforts. Together, we’ve protected vital habitats and grown a passion for nature.

As we embark on a new year, I have some important news: Doug Gibson has stepped down as CEO of Nature Collective.

We express our sincere gratitude for Doug’s nearly three decades of dedicated service, leadership, and significant contributions to Nature Collective’s success.

Together, we’ve overcome challenges and celebrated victories, like completing the $120 million San Elijo Lagoon Restoration Project, and built an organization poised for even greater success. These achievements are a testament to our collective efforts; we can all take pride in them.

We wish Doug the very best as he embarks on a new chapter.

The board will initiate a search for a new CEO. In the interim, Jennifer Bright, who has been an integral part of our organization for 10 years, most recently serving as Chief Operating Officer, will assume the role of interim CEO. Her commitment to Nature Collective’s mission, exceptional leadership qualities, and comprehensive understanding of our ambitious strategic plan make her the ideal leader to guide Nature Collective during this pivotal time.

We are confident that Nature Collective’s future is bright. Our strong foundation, coupled with the talented staff, will ensure continued growth and innovation. We are committed to informing you about the CEO search process and will provide updates as they become available.
Again, on behalf of the Board of Directors, I thank you for your commitment to and continued support of Nature Collective. 

Sincerely,  Michael Lea, PhD | Board Chairperson Nature Collective
