“We are thrilled to welcome Ed to ALT,” said Tom Hockaday, board chair in a statement. “His extensive experience in fundraising and donor relations will be a tremendous asset to the organization. It is a critical time for Aquidneck Island in terms of land conservation and watershed protection, and we look forward to accelerating our efforts with Ed on our team.”
According to the ALT, Mr. Magro received a B.A. from Trinity College, CT, and a J.D. from New York Law School, NY.
