The Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation has added four members to its board of directors. Rese Cloyd is from Department of Energy and Environment. Heather Disney Dugan works at Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Rob Ohno is part of the Annika Foundation and Jennifer Wisniewski comes from the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.
“The addition of these four board members further underscores our dedication to representing the many facets of the outdoors and assembling industry leaders to support RBFF and its mission to continued participation in fishing and boating across the country,” Dave Chanda, RBFF president and CEO, said in a statement. “From locally grown high-impact recruitment work to massive international juggernaut events, these four respected leaders bring an invaluable cache of experience to keep our momentum on pace with where we need to be.”
Cloyd helps develop and implement programs that support urban fish and wildlife conservation and encourage environmental stewardship and outdoor recreation in the nation’s capital. She holds a master’s degree in Conservation Biology from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, a bachelor degree in plant biology from the University of Michigan and an Executive Certificate in Nonprofit Leadership and Management from the University of Notre Dame.
Dugan has held myriad positions in the parks and wildlife segment including ranger, training officer, park manager, region manager and most recently assistant region manager for field services and chief of law enforcement. She’s also president of the National Association of Conservation Law Enforcement Chiefs Executive Board.
After working with the PGA Tour for 24 years, Ohno is the first president and CEO of the Annika Foundation, which was founded by professional golfer Annika Sorenstam. The organization supports and empowers young women to pursue the game of golf. Ohno has also volunteered with the US-Japan Council and the Asian Executive Network.
Wisniewski has extensive experience recruiting and reactivating anglers. She has increased license revenue, decreased churn and made Tennessee a nationwide leader in increasing hunting licenses. Her efforts have been recognized by the Wildlife Management Institute and the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. Wisniewski is the chair of the AFWA Outreach and Marketing Working Group, co-chair of the SEAFWA R3 Committee and past president of the Association for Conservation information.
