The Wilderness Society selects Jordan Schreiber as director of government relations

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, The Wilderness Society announced the selection of experienced public-lands advocate, Jordan Schreiber as one of two directors for government relations. In this role, Schreiber will support the organization’s engagement with Congress and the Biden Administration on landscape conservation. Additionally, she will supervise staff seeking legislative and policy solutions supporting equitable access to nature, and reforming antiquated mining laws.

“We’re so thrilled Jordan is bringing her leadership and expertise to our government relations team,” said Lydia Weiss, senior director of government relations at The Wilderness Society. “Jordan will be a tireless voice for these TWS priorities with congressional leaders and administration officials in our efforts to protect 30 percent of U.S. lands and waters by the year 2030.”

Before joining The Wilderness Society, Schreiber served as the director of the energy and environment program at Accountable.US, where she managed the organization's work on conservation, anti-public land extremism and oil and gas accountability. She also served as the senior director of policy, advocacy and government relations at the Trust for Public Land (TPL), a non-profit organization dedicated to conserving land for future generations, where she helped secure federal funding for land conservation projects and supported efforts to permanently reauthorize and fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). Schreiber holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of the Pacific. She was born and raised in Wyoming and loves spending time outdoors.

"I couldn't be more excited to join the amazing government relations team at The Wilderness Society,” said Schreiber.  “Our nation's public lands and waters hold unbelievable potential, but also face unprecedented threats. I look forward to building on over 80 years of outstanding work this organization has done and help make the case to Congress and the Biden administration that protecting America's wild places is more important than ever."

The Wilderness Society is dedicated to uniting people to protect America’s wild places. Since 1935, The Wilderness Society has led the effort to permanently protect nearly 112 million acres of wilderness in 44 states. We have been at the forefront of nearly every major public lands victory.
