Passing The Green Baton
By Margaret Kriz Hobson
Michael Brune
Incoming executive director of the Sierra Club
In March, the Sierra Club will begin a new phase as 38-year-old Michael Brune takes over as executive director of the San Francisco-based environmental group. Brune comes to the Sierra Club after seven years as head of the Rainforest Action Network, a smaller organization that was instrumental in persuading Home Depot to stop selling wood from endangered forests. Under Brune's leadership, Rainforest Action Network also won environmental commitments from such corporate heavyweights as Bank of America, Boise, Citi, Goldman Sachs, Kinko's, and Lowe's.
Brune will succeed Carl Pope, who has led the Sierra Club since 1992. In his new post, Brune will be responsible for the organization's 500-person staff and $87 million operating budget. Pope, 64, will stay on as executive chairman and will focus primarily on climate change.
Brune, who has bachelor's degrees in economics and finance from West Chester University in Pennsylvania, recently talked to National Journal about his new job.
