Amargosa Conservancy is pleased to introduce you to the newest member of our Board of Directors, Louise Mathias. Louise is a 15-year resident of the Mojave Desert, whose interest in and passion for the delicate ecosystem of the Amargosa Basin began in 2014, when she visited Tecopa with her partner. She has been a frequent visitor ever since, and calls the Amargosa Basin “one of my favorite places on earth.”
Louise is co-founder and Senior Partner of Innovative Funding Partners, LLC (www.innovativefundingpartners.com), a consulting firm that works with nonprofits across the nation in various sectors and sizes, from small organizations to some of the largest health care systems and major universities in the country. In addition to her work in the business and nonprofit world, she is also the author of three books of poems. Her latest, What if the Invader is Beautiful, which includes a number of poems set in the Amargosa region, was published this summer and is available through Four Way Books. Her writing is deeply rooted in the natural world.
We are extremely fortunate to be able to welcome Louise to our Board!
