Suzette Guzman-Brown has joined the Tree Research and Education Endowment Fund (TREE Fund) as its operations and governance coordinator. This newly created position will work regularly with TREE Fund’s various constituencies, working to ensure that routine operations and administrative functions are fulfilled in a timely fashion and will also work closely with the Board of Trustees in a de facto Board Secretary role, ensuring that the Trustees are able to focus fully on their crucial governance function with consistent and conscientious administrative support.

“We are very excited to have Suzette join our team,” said TREE Fund President/ CEO Paul Putman. “We had an exhaustive, nation-wide search and received over 400 applications for this position. Suzette impressed the staff with her experience and competence in project management, operations, and communications. We sought a candidate who was going to work well with both our staff and our trustees, committee members, volunteers, and partners and Suzette has a great attitude to complement her extensive experience.”
