Nina Carter, Executive Director

In January 2005 Nina assumed Audubon Washington’s top position after serving as policy director since November 2001. Her background includes more than two decades in public policy and environmental issues for the Washington departments of Fish and Wildlife, Ecology, Office of Marine Safety; and State Parks. She was an Olympia City councilwoman and adjunct professor in Environmental Studies at The Evergreen State College. She has handled the issues of growth management, oil spill prevention, water resources, salmon recovery, forests, and agriculture, and worked extensively with non-profit organizations, industries, and state agencies. She received a BA in economics and labor studies, and a Master’s degree in public administration from The Evergreen State College. Nina’s family originally came to Whidbey Island, Washington in 1852, but she has lived in Europe, North Africa and Japan. She and her husband, Dr. Thomas Rainey, live in Olympia. Her favorite bird is the Cedar Waxwing, and favorite pastimes are walking, traveling, architecture, history, and – of course – bird watching.

Contact Nina via e-mail or by phone 360-786-8020, or cell phone 360-789-0792.
