The board of trustees for the Northeast Resource Recovery Association (NRRA) has selected Reagan Bissonnette of Concord, New Hampshire, to serve as the NRRA’s next executive director.
Bissonnette is currently the senior director of easement stewardship & counsel at the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, one of the country’s largest and most effective land conservation organizations. Prior to joining the Forest Society, Bissonnette practiced law as a corporate attorney at Ropes & Gray, LLP, a global Boston based law firm.
Bissonnette joins the NRRA with a strong background in non-profit management and the law. While at the Forest Society, Bissonnette has led one of the organization’s largest departments, advised the Forest Society on legal matters, and leveraged technology to support the organization’s mission. As a corporate attorney at Ropes & Gray, LLP, Bissonnette worked on complex mergers and acquisitions and advised for-profit and non-profit clients on best practices in corporate governance.
The NRRA’s outgoing executive director, Mike Durfor, announced earlier this year that he will retire from his position at the NRRA after 10 successful years growing the organization.
Bissonnette received her law degree from Boston College Law School and a degree in Biology from Washington University in St. Louis.
