“I look forward to being a part of the effort to bring the CFAIA to the next level, making a positive difference for even more people exploring public and private lands for education and recreation,” Britt said.

Britt most recently served as the executive director of the Palmetto Conservation Foundation, a nonprofit founded in 1989 to conserve South Carolina’s natural and cultural resources, preserve historic landmarks and promote outdoor recreation. She succeeds former CFAIA director Carlton Murrey, who held the post for more than seven years.

“All of us at the CFAIA see an opportunity to grow our influence on outdoor education and recreation in the Southeast, and we are thrilled to have Natalie lead us in this next stage of our growth,” said Tad Fogel, chair of the CFAIA Board of Directors. “I’m excited about this next step for our organization, and I can’t wait to see where we can go. Carlton has been a strong leader for us, and we wish him well as he explores new opportunities with J. Biance Financial.”
