Tim Eder’s passion for the Great Lakes is clear in his words and in his work.
“The Great Lakes are my home,” says Tim. “I m from Michigan and it’s where I grew up. The Great Lakes define our state. They define our climate. They define many aspects of our economy.”
Cultivating his passion in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at MSU helped him build a career supporting the people and causes that protect the Great Lakes.
Tim is currently a program officer at the Mott Foundation. Before joining the Mott Foundation, Tim was the executive director of the Great Lakes Commission, an organization that advises the Great Lakes region’s governors and the premiers of Ontario and Quebec on sustainability issues. Prior to that, he spent almost two decades working at the National Wildlife Federation.
