Lake George Association

The Lake George Association (LGA), the preeminent lake conservation and advocacy organization committed to protecting Lake George and promoting freshwater preservation, seeks their next Executive Director (ED). At a time when freshwater preservation and water quality face great challenges, the LGA seeks a leader to set a cohesive and ambitious vision to safeguard the natural treasure of the Lake for generations and accelerate the science-to-solutions impact of the LGA on Lake George, now known as the “World’s Smartest Lake”. This is a tremendous and challenging opportunity for an innovative, committed leader and ambassador to play a critical role in local preservation with potentially global impact.

One of the many ways the LGA protects the waters of Lake George is through advocacy — supporting what we believe through the lens of science. Keeping chemicals out of the Lake may well be the most important stance we ever take. We steadfastly oppose the Lake George Park Commission's proposed use of the herbicide ProcellaCOR in Lake George to manage the invasive species Eurasian watermilfoil. There is no milfoil crisis. And there is far too little real-use scientific study of the effects of ProcellaCOR on freshwater ecosystems to allow for chemical experiments in the Queen of American Lakes.
