Dr. Elizabeth Gray is the CEO of the National Audubon Society and the first woman since Audubon’s founding in 1905 to hold that role. She is a champion of science-based conservation and leads Audubon’s initiative to alter the course of climate change and habitat loss while protecting birds. She will deliver an illustrated public lecture on Wednesday, May 28th at 7:00 pm in Fleischmann Auditorium at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.
This event is presented by the Santa Barbara Audubon Society. Dr. Elizabeth Gray serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the National Audubon Society, leading the organization toward its vision of a future where birds thrive. A renowned expert in global conservation and climate change, she joined Audubon in March 2021 as President and Chief Conservation Officer and was named CEO later that year. She leads more than 800 staff working across the Americas to alter the course of climate change and habitat loss. Since her arrival, she has led a landmark $826 million campaign, the groundbreaking release of the Migratory Bird Explorer, and the unifying Flight Plan strategy, reinforcing Audubon’s commitment to hemispheric conservation through the power of birds. Under Gray’s leadership, Audubon has embraced a multicultural, multigenerational approach, ensuring its work reflects and engages all the communities connected to conservation across the Western Hemisphere.
