About Elizabeth Silleck La Rue, Esq.
I am a multihyphenate working across environmental conservation and equity spaces, serving clients with program and project design and assessment, policy advocacy, strategy, communications, and thought partnership. My firm primarily serves nonprofit and government entities, with select partnerships with mission-based for-profit companies. I bring my expertise in law, anthropology, policy, communications, and wellness to the work advancing equitable conservation.
I am also a passionate and avid SCUBA diver, coral restoration volunteer, and fundraiser aiming to advance equity in ocean conservation through local, hands-on, in-the-water work. I serve on the Advisory Board for 10% For the Ocean and volunteer regularly with the Cozumel Coral Reef Restoration Program.

@Opeyemi Blessing Oyawale good one, this is packed with so much to learn from. Thank you @Elizabeth Silleck La Rue, Esq for sharing your experiences and insights with us.
My pleasure!
What a amazing interview! Thank you Elizabeth for your advice and insights, and thank you Opeyemi for providing us this content :)
My pleasure!
Thanks so much for featuring our interview @Opeyemi Blessing Oyawale and great job on the writeup!
Thanks for sharing Elizabeth!
@Adam Barlow and @Matt Barker : perhaps of interest to you?
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your work challenge Kimberly. I've worked primarily with advisors (also on a volunteer basis) which is different than the situation you describe where you are dependent on your board members to regularly fulfil certain tasks/commitments, correct?
For this reason, let me invite some other Founders and CEOs to respond to this @Fred Nelson , @Stella Diamant , @Adam Barlow , @Estrela Matilde , @Michael Cunningham ,@Elizabeth Silleck La Rue, Esq. and @Oliver Dauert
Thanks for the tag @Thirza Loffeld. I have found Board member involvement to be highly variable, and influenced by the following factors: 1. The degree to which people are busy with work that provides for their livelihoods (as it sounds like some of your members are); 2. The degree to which people feel/believe that being actively involved will add benefit to their core businesses, their social networks, or other things they value; 3. Their degree of passion for the actual work that is done by the organization and whether they are able to be involved in it. While you have no control over #1, you may be able to re-engage them through 2 & 3. It's also important to be clear about time and energy commitments with prospective Board members up front.
Thanks @Thirza Loffeld for putting @Elizabeth Stephenson on my radar!
Elizabeth, this resonated so deeply for me "“The majority world is home to talented conservationists who have historically been underrepresented due to colonialism, parachute science, and deep inequalities in the ability to get visas to travel to conferences.”
Equitable conservation policy is the focus of my consultancy, but I am also a newly appointed Advisory Board Member for 10% For the Ocean, a UK-based charity aiming to increase ocean conservation philanthropy and direct it specifically to locally focused, smaller organizations doing ocean conservation work. I'm going to invite the Program Director to WildHub shortly, but there are upcoming consultation sessions for potential grantees to provide feedback on the org's new strategy and grant application. I think it's a great model. Would you please pass on to the small local organizations in your network? Announcement here (the website is getting revamped, so I'm linking to the LI page):
