Inside the SSC > National Director In 2003, Derek graduated from the University of Chicago and went to work for Green Corps, the field school for environmental organizing. His first campaign with Green Corps was in Philadelphia for the Sierra Club's “Building Environmental Communities (BEC)” campaign. Derek and other Philadelphia BEC organizers recruited hundreds of volunteers who helped contribute to the massive voter mobilization in and around Philly for Election Day 2004. With Green Corps, he also worked in Michigan for the Alaska Coaltion and directed the Sierra Club's canvass office in Tallahassee, Florida. After graduating from Green Corps, Derek held the position of Campus Organizer at the Union of Concerned Scientists. He then took on the role of SSC National Director in Winter 2005. Outside of his environmental pursuits, Derek enjoys theater and the arts. He was active in the UChicago theater community during college, and now is a regular theater attendee. He's also a sports fan and avid reader. Derek is originally from New York City and loves urban culture just as much as wilderness tranquility. |
