The Board of Directors of the Yukon Invasive Species Council is pleased to announce the appointment of Meesha Wittkopf as Executive Director, effective January 24, 2024.

Meesha is well-positioned to launch into this new role, being a long-time advocate for northern communities and a leader in collaborating with others to achieve ambitious goals. She brings her experience in the non-profit sector where she has furthered environmental and human rights  causes while strengthening networks and partnerships.

Meesha loves getting her hands dirty, and you won’t find her always in the office! Whether it be out in the field, in the garden, working on policy and advocacy campaigns or collaborating with other organizations and volunteers.
