As Audubon Alaska's Policy Director, Eric Myers focuses on public policy and land management issues related to the Arctic and the Tongass National Forest.

Eric graduated from Dartmouth College in 1978 with a degree in Environmental Studies. Eric first came to Alaska in 1977 as an intern for the Alaska Center for the Environment, at the time when Congress was considering the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA). Eric has been involved with Alaska-based non-profit conservation organizations ever since, as both an employee and a volunteer.

Starting in 1986, Eric worked for the Alaska State Legislature for eight years with a focus on energy, environment, and public health, and he subsequently worked for the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council, first as Project Coordinator and then as Director of Operations over the course of five years. Eric served on the Board of Directors of the Alaska Conservation Foundation for nine years, including a portion of that time as Chair. Eric has received the Volunteer of the Year Award from the Anchorage Chapter of the American Cancer Society, the Emily Bissel Outstanding Volunteer Award from the American Lung Association of Alaska, and the Barbara Berger Excellence in Public Health Award from the Alaska Public Health Association. Eric’s other personal interests include wilderness travel, ski-joring, and birding.
