Francesca Koe, Director of Special Projects, San Francisco

Francesca Koe
My first collaboration with NRDC started in 2003 as a communications strategist on climate and energy campaigns – the dedication of so many hardworking, smart people inspired me! Subsequently in April of 2007 I started serving as one of many local allies partnering with NRDC to strengthen protection for ocean ecosystems through the implementation of state legislation, administrative advocacy and citizen action on the Marine Life Protection Act in California. Fast forward to present day: I am on staff directing public opinion outreach, advertising, creative development & messaging that not only seeks to inspire other collaborators but namely focuses on advancing responsible environmental & business policies around the world.
