After nearly three years of work in merging two
organizations into Yellowstone National Park’s official non-profit partner
Yellowstone Forever, CEO and president Heather White resigned, effective June
14.
The organization’s board of directors’ treasurer John Walda
will serve as interim president and CEO of Yellowstone Forever. Walda recently
retired from his position as president and CEO of the National Association of
College and University Business and has worked on the National Advisory Council
as well as been on the board of Yellowstone Park Foundation, one of the
organizations that has been merged into Yellowstone Forever.
Both White and Yellowstone Forever board chairman Kay Yeager
expressed gratitude for White’s time with the organization, noting her
accomplishments, which included raising tens of millions of dollars as well as garnering
increased awareness of the Yellowstone Forever brand.
