Partnerships

Growing up in Southern California, all of Mary's formative memories are near the ocean and it developed a deep commitment to giving back to the places that have provided so much for her. As the lead for Surfrider's national corporate partnerships program, she works with corporations and leading brands to connect their goals for conservation and community engagement with a meaningful investment in Surfrider's ability to achieve its mission.

This avenue of collaboration has built meaningful relationships, experiences, and a tremendous platform to raise awareness and critical funds in service of a shared interest in protecting our ocean, waves, and beaches. Working in the corporate partnerships space is a gratifying daily experience and a creative endeavor in interpreting the objectives and interests of an investment and ensuring a mutually beneficial work plan that drives positive outcome for our coasts and ocean.
