ABOUT LUCY'S WORK
Lucy Blake is the founder and former president of the Sierra Business Council, a collaborative conservation initiative in the Sierra Nevada region.
Blake's group, the Sierra Business Council (SBC), is recognized nationally as an example of how communities can integrate social, economic, and environmental concerns in mutually supportive ways. An association of over 500 member businesses, the organization is based on the principle that business and environmental interests are more often coincident than in conflict, particularly in geographic areas where economic sustainability depends on environmental quality. Under Blake’s guidance, the SBC published Planning for Prosperity (1997), a set of principles for land-use planning in rural communities, and the Sierra Nevada Wealth Index (1996), which describes the interdependence of social, economic, and environmental health in the community’s well-being.
BIOGRAPHY
Prior to founding SBC in 1994, Blake served as the director of the California League of Conservation Voters (1981-1991), a non-partisan political action arm of California's environmental movement.
Blake received a B.A. (1981) in history from Brown University.
