Debbie Heaton

A volunteer with the Sierra Club for over 29 years, Debbie served in numerous roles within the Delaware Chapter from newsletter editor through to chairing the chapter, as well as the conservation and political committees. Her work at the local level led her to getting involved at the regional level and eventually on national teams and committees. Her career as an art director/graphic designer transitioned to working with nonprofits after she accepted a position as Delaware Chapter staff.

Recently retired from raising money for several conservation nonprofits, she serves on the Board of the Sierra Club and Delaware Humanities, as well as treasurer of GreenWatch Institute, and chairs the Delaware Natural Areas Advisory Council. She lives with her husband in Middletown, DE and enjoys travel, hiking, reading, and learning to cook.
