(Seattle, WA) -- The Fisheries Leadership and Sustainability Forum (Fisheries Forum) is pleased to
announce that John Henderschedt has recently joined the Fisheries Forum team in
the newly established position of Executive Director. Henderschedt will
leave his post at Phoenix Processor Limited Partnership and transition into his
new role at Fisheries Forum in early February.
The Fisheries Leadership and Sustainability Forum is a partnership among four
of the nation's leading academic and policy institutions: Duke University’s
Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions, Stanford University’s
Woods Institute for the Environment and Center for Ocean Solutions, and
Environmental Defense Fund. It provides professional development, continuing
education and networking opportunities for members of the regional fishery
management councils through semiannual forums, regional workshops, and an
ongoing support program.
Since his appointment to the North Pacific Fishery Management Council in 2008, Henderschedt has participated in many of the events that Fisheries Forum organizes for regional fishery management council members.
"Fisheries Forum has had a significant and positive influence on how I perceive my role as a council member. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to play a part in the future of the Fisheries Forum program," Henderschedt says of his new post. As Executive Director, he will work with Fisheries Forum staff and its partner institutions on both program and organizational development.
Henderschedt has 25 years of experience in the Alaska fishing industry with responsibilities related to vessel operations, government affairs and safety management. His involvement in North Pacific fisheries began with his work as a joint-venture representative on Russian fishing vessels in the mid-eighties. He will continue to reside in Seattle, WA.
