About the Presenter
JD Bergeron is passionate about birds as indicators of environmental health. He joined International Bird Rescue as its Executive Director in 2015, an opportunity that allowed him to bring together his passion and work experience to benefit wild birds in a changing world. He values integrity, curiosity, and mindfulness in his leadership of 300 staff and volunteers in an organization advancing wildlife conservation through emergency response, rehabilitation, innovative research, and knowledge sharing with peers and the public. Previously, JD served in progressive leadership roles in international development and founded Chooda, a nonprofit incubator helping to inspire change through outdoor adventures that engage individuals with world challenges. JD received his bachelor’s degree from Washington University in Saint Louis, but he counts his time in the Peace Corps, international travels, and a month on Midway Atoll among a million albatrosses as the true lessons of his life.
