International Wolf Center Hires Executive Director

March 19, 2008

The International Wolf Center is pleased to announce that Marc B. Anderson has been selected as the Center's executive director. Anderson was chosen from among a group of strong and talented candidates. Dr. L. David Mech, chair of the search committee, remarked, "The decision to select Marc Anderson as the executive director who could lead the International Wolf Center to the next level followed a rigorous search process. Marc has more than twenty-five years of a proven track record of success as a nonprofit leader, entrepreneur and conservationist. We're thrilled to have him on board."

In 2006, Anderson founded www.NonProfitRFPexchange.com, an Internet service, designed to offer nonprofit organizations a way to connect with vendors whose services match their needs. Prior to that, he served as executive director for the National Independent Glass Association, where he assumed leadership for a struggling national trade association and doubled its membership.

As owner of the Hudson Bay Company, Anderson worked with nonprofit organizations and electoral candidates on communications, public relations, fund raising, lobbying, strategic planning, program development and administration.

Anderson also served as executive director for Citizens for a Better Environment, a nonprofit grassroots organization whose mission was to raise and grant money to other environmental groups and to educate the public and legislature.

He founded and serves on the board of Minneapolis Park Lovers. "I am very happy to join the team at the International Wolf Center. They are doing an excellent job. The Center is a mature organization with an excellent reputation, and I look forward to contributing to their mission," said Anderson.

Founded in 1985, the International Wolf Center is a nonprofit educational organization that advances the survival of wolf populations around the world by teaching about wolves, their relationship to wildlands and the human role in their future. The Center pursues this mission through educational initiatives that include a membership program, learning vacations, an interpretive center in Northern Minnesota, international conferences, youth outreach programs, teacher education resources and workshops, a quarterly magazine and a Web site, www.wolf.org.
