About Deborah Moore

Creative Changemaker for Environment and Social Justice • Savvy Campaign Strategist – Spearheaded winning advocacy campaigns that influenced decision-makers to adopt some of the world’s strongest laws and policies for clean energy and climate change, advanced sustainability education, and reformed financial institutions’ environment and human rights policies. • Experienced Program Manager – Managed staff, cross-departmental teams, volunteers, and annual budgets up to $5 million, including fundraising and finance, strategic and annual planning, grant-making and reporting, and program evaluation and impact assessment, for small start-ups, national and international environment and human rights non-profit organizations, and foundations. • Awards for Innovative Leadership – Received national and international recognition for initiatives that drive results, including the California Green Schools Pioneer Leadership Award, Jefferson Award for Public Service, Zayed International Prize for the Environment, and two MacArthur Awards for Creative and Effective Institutions. My passions are fighting climate change, advancing clean energy, protecting rivers and water, empowering voters, training advocates, and helping communities thrive - all are fundamental to a healthy future. I like what David Orr, Oberlin College emeritus professor, says:"Hope is a verb with its sleeves rolled up." Let's put hope into action!
