In Memoriam

Meinhard Doelle, Founder and First Chair of the Board

Meinhard was a visionary who saw the need for a public-interest environmental law organization in Atlantic Canada and turned that vision into a reality by orchestrating the establishment of East Coast Environmental Law in 2007. He was the first Chair of our Board, and he remained a stalwart supporter and trusted advisor, providing perspective, insight, and encouragement as the organization grew and evolved.
