The Trail Conference welcomes Maureen Walsh to the position of Administrative Director. Maureen graduated in 1994 from University of Massachusetts, Amherst, with a bachelor’s degree in environmental science. She spent six years in Seattle, where she enjoyed a variety of outdoor adventures in the beautiful area of Washington and Oregon. Her favorite job in Seattle was for Ride for a Reason, a four-day AIDS Ride. For the past three years, she has been in Washington, DC, working for Center for a Sustainable Economy, an environmental nonprofit that does research and policy analysis on market-based approaches to addressing environmental issues. She is excited to work at the NY/NJ Trail Conference and with a great group of dedicated volunteers and staff.

"I knew when Ed asked, ‘How would you feel about doing at least 12 hikes a year with TC members?’ that this was the perfect job for me."
