Mariah Steele
Secretary

Mariah is an environmental lawyer and scientist with more than 30 years of experience in federal and international environmental law, with extensive experience developing collaborative programs that yield significant environmental benefits.  She is a firm believer in the critical role of voluntary programs when designed with strong structural and integrity safeguards that ensure a level playing field for participants and deliver meaningful environmental benefits for our world. Some of her work has been codified into federal law or used as a basis for international governments and programs.  When not thinking of schematic and integrity program improvements, Mariah revels in nature, helping creatures that don’t speak Human, and pursuing the perfect latte.
