Frances Beinecke

President, National Resources Defense Fund

The Annual Stanley and Hope Adelstein Forum on the Environment

 Under Ms. Beinecke’s leadership, the National Resources Defense Fund (NRDC) has launched a new strategic campaign that sharply focuses NRDC's efforts on curbing global warming, moving America beyond oil, reviving the world's oceans, saving endangered wild places,        stemming the tide of toxic chemicals and accelerating the greening of China.

Ms. Beinecke has worked with NRDC for more than 30 years. Prior to becoming the president in 2006, she served as the organization's executive director for eight years, during which time NRDC's membership doubled and the staff grew to more than 300. She also worked as a member of NRDC's water and coastal program, fighting to protect marine ecosystems from offshore oil and gas development and advocating for sound coastal land use. Tickets: $18 members; $30 nonmembers$360/450- Corporate table of eight/ten; $280/350 - Nonprofit table of eight/ten
