We are excited to introduce our new Board Chair and Vice-Chair

Potomac Conservancy benefits tremendously from the experience and expertise that our talented Board of Directors contributes to our clean water achievements. We are privileged to be guided by this dedicated group of cross-sector leaders in the Potomac River region, all of whom serve in a volunteer capacity.

As we head into an exciting year of opportunities to restore our lands and streams, we are thrilled to announce our new Board Chair and Vice-Chair.

John Froemming, Board Chair

John Froemming is a nationally recognized intellectual property trial lawyer and a registered patent attorney at the global law firm of Jones Day.

For John, the Potomac River is a place of renewal and resolve, where he trains almost daily in season with the Potomac Boat Club's competitive sculling team and, in the winter, runs and cross-country skis along its banks.

John has served on Potomac Conservancy's Board of Directors since 2019.

Georgia Chafee Nassikas, Board Vice-Chair

Georgia Chafee Nassikas is a professional artist with paintings in collections across the country and world, including in the US State Department Art in Embassies Program. Her works in wax and oil reflect her environmental and political engagement. The Potomac River plays a creative force in many of her paintings.

Georgia has served in leadership positions on non-profit boards focused on the environment and the arts. She currently serves on the executive committee of Woodwell Climate Research Center.

Georgia joined Potomac Conservancy's Board of Directors in 2016.

We are incredibly thankful to John, Georgia, and our entire Board of Directors for their invaluable service to our organization! Together, we'll achieve clean, fishable, and swimmable waters in our lifetime.
