Sign the Pledge PHILADELPHIA & BALTIMORE – Today, the National Audubon Society announced a strategic merger between two storied state programs – Audubon Pennsylvania and Audubon Maryland-DC, introducing the Audubon Mid-Atlantic regional office. Suzanne Biemiller has been named the new executive director of the new regional office. Biemiller joins Audubon after founding the policy-focused consulting firm, Highland Strategies, and a notable tenure in former Philadelphia Mayor Michael A. Nutter’s administration as First Deputy Chief of Staff for the City of Philadelphia. “My lifelong passion for hiking and canoeing has given me a deep appreciation for the importance of preserving and restoring land and waterways for birds and other wildlife,” said Biemiller. “Audubon’s century-long mission to protect birds inspires me, and I’m eager to dive into a new chapter of conservation across the Mid-Atlantic. With the new Audubon Mid-Atlantic, our growing wingspan throughout the region will only strengthen Audubon’s influence, impact and ability to advocate for birds and the environments they need – from the cities to the rural communities – for decades to come.”
