Yesterday, Fly Fishers International (FFI) announced that Patrick H. Berry has been named as the organization’s new President and Chief Executive Officer. The announcement ended a months-long effort to select an individual that can bring world-class leadership and organizational experience to FFI.
Berry brings over 27 years of experience in the environmental conservation field, having come to FFI from the Vermont Community Foundation where he served as Vice President of Philantrophy. Berry also is a former Commissioner of the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department, and is recognized for his efforts to increase department revenue through private contributions, capital appropriations, and other venues. Previously, he served as Developmental Chair for Vermont Law School, where he successfully implemented a $15 million capital campaign.
An avid angler and hunter, Berry began his career as a fly fishing guide. He also tied flies commercially.
