The Greater Yellowstone Coalition’s Board of Directors is comprised of dedicated volunteers who have a broad array of leadership, expertise, and enthusiasm in protecting the world’s first national park and the lands that surround it.

Board members exercise overall responsibility for Greater Yellowstone Coalition's governance, including setting policy, overseeing fiscal responsibilities and operations, and establishing programs to help achieve the organization’s mission.
