As Community Engagement & Outreach Manager for the Foundation for Public Lands, Brittney Gilardian supports the Foundation’s state and federal government relations, community engagement, and program development.
Brittney came to the Foundation most recently from the Urban Land Institute’s Advisory Services Program. The program provided technical assistance to over 750 communities around the globe tackling land use challenges ranging from natural disaster recovery, environmental resilience, rural and downtown revitalizations and more, in which she traveled to different communities, lived in various communities for a week at a time to truly understand the issue, and would engage with local stakeholders at each city. In this capacity she would partner with communities, non-profits, and city officials, to arrange for panels of experts to give advice to those communities. Prior to that, she worked for the National Association of Counties (NACo) in which she hosted webinars for county executives on geographic information systems, rural county technology, and more. Prior to that, she worked in branding for the world’s largest law firm, Dentons. Brittney has also worked in three different offices for the Executive Office of the President of the United States (The White House).
Originally from New York, Brittney lived in Washington, DC for 9 years, and recently moved to Seattle, Washington to interact with more public lands and nature.
