Jeff Eisenberg to be Next CEO of the National Association of Conservation Districts

Fri, 15 Jan 2010 13:26:49 CST

The National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) has announced that Jeff Eisenberg will take the helm as the Association's new Chief Executive Officer beginning February 1, 2010.

"We are eager for Jeff to join the team as CEO of the National Association of Conservation Districts," said NACD President Steve Robinson, a producer from Marysville, Ohio. "Jeff has a true passion for conservation districts and their work. He has experience working for both conservation and landowner groups, and we are confident that his expertise and energy make him the right person to lead NACD."

Eisenberg brings strong Washington experience to the organization; his entire career has been dedicated to agriculture conservation issues. He most recently served as the Executive Director of the Public Lands Council, where he represented ranchers before Congress and the Executive Branch on a variety of natural resource issues such as climate change, the Farm Bill and endangered species. Prior to his tenure at the Public Lands Council, Eisenberg represented both the Klamath Water Users' Association and The Nature Conservancy on natural resource issues. Eisenberg also provided legal services to the Forest Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Farm Service Agency and the Office of Energy in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Office of the General Counsel for nearly a decade.

"Jeff's deep understanding of the issues will continue to strengthen NACD's position in Washington, D.C. and provide new opportunities our member districts," added Robinson. "Under Jeff's leadership, NACD will continue to be America's voice for natural resource conservation."

"I am extremely pleased to have been chosen to lead NACD," Eisenberg said. "While the challenges facing conservation in America are great, the opportunities are even greater. NACD is well-positioned to lead the charge. I am committed to maintaining and building on the great work being done by conservation districts throughout the country."

Eisenberg was raised in Minnesota. He holds a bachelor's degree in Scandinavian Studies and Political Science from the University of Minnesota and a juris doctor from the University of Wisconsin Law School.
