Organizational Update - Mary Langan Joins Board of Trustees

We are pleased to welcome Mary Langan to TILT’s Board of Trustees. Mary has lifelong connections to the Thousand Islands and is a 4th generation River Rat who enjoys spending her summers in TI Park.

“I love all that TILT has to offer, including its countless trails, coves, beaches, and preserves. My dog and I especially enjoy hiking the Grindstone Island Nature Trail and spending time at Potters Beach Preserve, and we are looking forward to exploring the Rivergate Trail. Needless to say, I'm honored to join TILT in its mission to conserve the places we all love.” shares Mary.

An attorney in Syracuse, Mary earned her bachelor’s degree from the University at Buffalo and her law degree from Albany Law School of Union University. She has more than a decade of experience as a litigator in both state and federal courts and brings an impressive amount of experience to the Board. Her attention to detail, compassion and common-sense approach will help advance the organization’s conservation mission.

Mary sits on the Board of Directors of the Onondaga County Bar Association and is a member of the New York State Bar Association, Central New York Women’s Bar Association and the Northern District of New York Federal Court Bar Association.

“Mary is a terrific addition to our board,” adds Dave Lucas, TILT’s Board President. “Her expertise and love of the Thousand Islands lend themselves very well to furthering the Land Trust's conservation mission. We all look forward to working alongside Mary.”
