LISA RENSTROM
Lisa Renstrom might not have literally walked in the footsteps of legendary conservationist John Muir, but she certainly followed his path. A 1982 UNO graduate, Renstrom in 2005 was elected the 51st president of the Sierra Club, founded in by Muir in 1892 and now the nation’s largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization. Among her initiatives during her term was spearheading the Sierra Summit, then the largest gathering of Sierra members in the club’s 114-year history. Today she is chair of the board of Confluence Philanthropy, which advances mission-aligned investing.
