SArAH-JANE DANCHIE

Whenever new supporters join our Board, they always bring a burst of energy and enthusiasm that lifts up our whole alliance. That’s why we are so grateful to have a new dedicated board member like Sarah-Jane Danchie. A social economist, Danchie has dedicated more than 15 years of her career to global sustainable development. She is currently the Director for Africa at The Social Investment Consultancy (TSIC) and specializes in investing in responsible global supply chains—with a strong focus on gender and racial diversity, equity, and inclusion.

She first met fellow Board members and Rainforest Alliance program staff at our February Board meeting in Mexico. Here, she enjoyed firsthand experience of our sustainable agriculture and community forestry work. “It was great to meet and interact with such a passionate Board and dedicated staff from the Rainforest Alliance country operations in Mexico” says Sarah. “I look forward to joining the team as they embark on a new, ambitious strategy which promotes innovative approaches to address climate change, promotes human rights, biodiversity and improving livelihoods.”

Bringing a new wealth of knowledge to our board, Danchie is helping the Rainforest Alliance develop new partnerships to improve the livelihoods of farmers and forest communities. Join us in welcoming our latest alliance member!
