Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation adds membership and development coordinator

The Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation has hired Heather Post as membership and development coordinator to support donor, volunteer and membership work. The addition comes as PPFF continues its push to expand stewardship and public engagement across Pennsylvania’s state parks and forests.

Why it matters: - PPFF is adding staff to strengthen support for members, donors, volunteers and partners. - The hire supports the foundation’s broader mission to expand stewardship of Pennsylvania’s state parks and forests. - More staffing can improve outreach and operational follow-through for a nonprofit that depends on community participation.

What happened: - The Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation announced Heather Post as its new Membership and Development Coordinator. - Post joins PPFF to help advance membership engagement, donor support and the organization’s stewardship mission. - PPFF made the announcement in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, on Sept. 17, 2026.

The details: - Post brings more than 20 years of experience in customer relationships, data systems and business operations. - From 2003 to 2026, Post co-owned and helped grow York Corvus, LLC, a national provider of web-based software for college students. - Post previously served as Business Manager for Bradley Academy for the Visual Arts. - In that role, Post handled payroll, financial operations, accreditation and governmental reporting. - PPFF said that background matches the accuracy, record-keeping and reporting work tied to the new position. - Post said she is excited to bring her operations, customer support and data management experience to an organization she believes in. - Post said Pennsylvania’s state parks and forests have been part of her life for years. - Marci Mowery, PPFF president, said Heather Post’s background positions her to contribute from day one.

Between the lines: - PPFF is prioritizing operational capacity, not just public-facing advocacy. - The new role suggests the foundation sees membership and donor management as central to sustaining its programs. - Post’s mix of software, business and reporting experience points to a need for both relationship-building and administrative precision.
