NPCA applauds the confirmation of its long-time former Board Member Sally Jewell as the next secretary of the Department of the Interior. An avid outdoorswoman, her strong commitment to national parks and her passion for connecting people with nature make her an ideal choice as the cabinet member who will preside over the Park Service centennial in 2016.
