The Board and Executive Director of the Georgia Association of Conservation Districts (GACD) are pleased to announce Mady Barnes as Operations Manager. Mady has been a dedicated and invaluable member of the GACD team as an independent contractor serving as a District Program Assistant in 2018 and more recently as GACD's Project Coordinator.
Mady has been instrumental in the expansion of GACD goals and objectives. A small sampling of her work with GACD has been the creation and management of our Friend of Conservation program, establishment of partnerships and coordination of policy events with our state legislators, and assisting with the execution of many of GACD's conservation programs and initiatives.
In her new role as Operations Manager, she will play a hands-on role in executing GACD’s statewide conservation programs and objectives, and lead tasks essential to daily operations ensuring GACD’s effectiveness and efficiency. Her role will serve as a technical and professional resource both within and outside the Association, and she will work to provide oversight and management for ongoing operations including implementation and compliance related to GACD programs and outreach efforts.
Mady resides in Lizella, GA with her husband Bryan and daughter Paisley.
The mission of GACD is to advocate for the conservation of Georgia’s natural resources by providing organization, leadership and a unified strategic direction to the Conservation Districts of the state.
