Cori Rockefeller leads annual giving and donor stewardship at Western Reserve Land Conservancy. She coordinates donor appeals and communications, grows support year after year, and ensures donors feel recognized and appreciated for their contributions to the mission.
Cori began her career at the Land Conservancy as a Tree Care Technician, with the Reforest Our City program, helping plant and care for trees across Cleveland. She later became the Community Relations Coordinator, where she planned and led events that engaged donors, landowners, partners, and volunteers.
A strong interest in environmental stewardship, sparked during her college years, led Cori to pursue volunteer and professional opportunities in the field. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Studies and Sustainability from Slippery Rock University. She has earned certifications in Sustainability, Tree Stewardship, and Elevating the Voices of Impacted Communities through Effective Community Engagement Strategies.
Cori resides in Lakewood, OH with her partner, Barrett, and their pets, Bernie and Maple. In her free time, she enjoys gardening in her community plot, slow birding, taking scenic adventures, finding a good trivia night, and getting a sweet treat at Mitchell’s Ice Cream.
