Elizabeth Williams joined The Wilderness Society as the Membership Operations Manager in May 2026. 

Elizabeth brings over a decade of experience in nonprofit marketing, fundraising and donor data strategy, most recently serving as Senior Manager of Marketing Automation at The Nature Conservancy. There, she played a key role building an integrated Customer Data Platform that increased fundraising revenue and pioneered automated donor journey programs to improve retention.  Before stepping into marketing automation, Elizabeth held several roles at The Nature Conservancy managing sustainer and mid-level donor programs. Prior to TNC, Elizabeth served over 6 years in membership operations at Defenders of Wildlife. 

Her passion for protecting public lands and wilderness was ignited after hiking remote areas of Alaska with her husband and ‘crazy cousin Bob’. She’s climbed Mt. Rainer, Granite Peak, and is a proud “Winter 46’er” of the Adirondack Mountains. She has attempted Gannett Peak twice and is hoping three times the charm.

Elizabeth holds a B.S. in Communications from Fitchburg State College.
