Kerry Schumann
Executive Director
Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters

Kerry Schumann has been the Executive Director of the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters (WCLV) since May of 2004. Under Kerry’s leadership the organization has grown from a new start-up to a major conservation and political organization with staff and offices around the state. In building the organization, Kerry’s focus has been on developing a locally-based presence in key parts of the state, recruiting exceptional staff and significantly increasing WLCV’s budget. Before coming to WLCV, Kerry worked with the Wisconsin Public Interest Research Group (WISPIRG) for 13 years.

Prior to entering a career in environmental advocacy and politics, Kerry worked in environmental education in Wisconsin and North Carolina. She spent several summers exploring the Appalachian Trail in North Carolina with children at the Nantahala Outdoor Centers’ Learning Center. Kerry’s love of the outdoors started while growing up on a farm in Waukesha County and camping with her family at Page Creek Marsh near Montello. Kerry now lives in Madison with her daughter, Emma.
