Announcing Celina Starnes as AFA’s New Board Chair

The AFA is pleased to announce Celina Starnes has been appointed as the new Chair of the AFA Board of Directors.

After joining the board in 2019, Celina assumed the role of Chair in April, taking over from AFA co-founder and former executive director, Ken Wu, who will remain as a board member at large as he dedicates more time to his new organization, the Endangered Ecosystems Alliance.

With a life-long dedication to protecting diverse ecosystems, a passion for coaching and capacity building, and her experience as Special Events Coordinator at Metro Vancouver and previously as Public Education & Manager at the Stanley Park Ecology Society, Celina brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to the board.

We’re hugely grateful to Celina for her dedication to protecting ancient forests and are looking forward to working with her in her new role as Chair!
