Alexa deSanctis, Community Engagement Operations Manager, at POST will address the mission, vision. and history of POST’s work, program areas and methodology, and how you can get involved. POST has created a network of protected lands where people and nature connect and thrive. These lands are preserved forever so that present and future generations benefit from the careful balance of rural and urban landscapes that make our region extraordinary. Since their founding in 1977, POST has protected more than 93,000 acres of permanent open space, farms and parkland in San Mateo, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties.
Alexa grew up hiking and skiing in Denver, Colorado. Then she made a leap to the Bay Area to pursue her studies at Santa Clara University, graduating with a degree in Psychology and Child Studies. She spent two years in corporate sustainability, facilitating conferences and workshops with Fortune 500 companies before joining POST. Managing the POST volunteer program and planning events from walks and workdays to film festivals and raptor events allows Alexa to spend plenty of time in nature.
