50. Adrienne Esposito

As CCE’s lead spokes-person, Esposito works to build widespread citizen understanding and advocacy for policies and actions designed to manage and protect interdependent land and water resources, wildlife and public health. She carries out this mission through public education, research, lobbying, organizing, public outreach and, most of all, getting in front of the cameras and news organizations. Once you meet her, you know she cares about what she is doing. She truly follows the quote, “A leader must have the courage to act against an expert’s advice,” and the experts will tell you that about her.
