Audubon North Carolina has named Dana Sargent as the organization’s new Community Building Director.
Sargent comes to Audubon after serving as executive director of Wilmington-based Cape Fear River Watch for the past seven years, where her work included leading high-profile campaigns against PFAS and forever chemical pollution.
A seasoned advocate, Sargent has built deep ties across eastern North Carolina and beyond, working to protect clean water and promote sustainable environmental solutions.
In her new role, Sargent will partner with Audubon chapters and members, supporting their on-the-ground work and organizing advocates to pursue policy change and conservation solutions across the state. She will play a critical role in strengthening grassroots power and advancing Audubon’s mission to protect birds and the places they need.
