Professional Bio
Irvine brings experience in nonprofit management, including fundraising, operations, strategic planning, budgeting, sustainability and program development – all of which make him an ideal fit for the role of executive director. But it’s his love of nature and commitment to conservation that makes him an ideal fit for the Forest
An Omaha native, Irvine has always had a love of nature, the outdoors, and Fontenelle Forest. He understands the importance of urban greenspace and the positive impact it has on people’s lives.
“The Forest was the place I found my greatest passion, experiencing nature. Now I bring my kids here, so they can be inspired,” said Irvine. “It is the place I go to during all seasons of life, to celebrate good times and find solace in troubling times.”
Irvine brings over 15 years of experience to the role, having served in various positions focused on nonprofit management, fundraising, grant writing and community health initiatives. He joins Fontenelle Forest following his most recent role as Director of Greater Nebraska Initiatives at The Sherwood Foundation in Omaha, and previously, Executive Director of the Panhandle Partnership in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. Irvine also currently serves as a board member for the Nonprofit Association of the Midlands.
Irvine feels fortunate that his career has allowed him to do meaningful work that has positively impacted people’s lives and is excited to bring that passion and experience to the Forest.
