The Alliance
Key Stakeholders
The Board of Directors and Advisory Board work together with our members to shape the implementation of the mission by evaluating programs, guiding the research agenda, assisting with fundraising and marketing efforts, providing guidance on community impact and educational activities, and helping set the overall strategic direction for our efforts.
Directors
Joy Lyndes
Executive Director
Joy is a community advocate with a background in creating parks and greenspaces THAT promote community health and well-being. She founded The Alliance in 2013 in alignment with the belief that human health is irrevocably tied to nature and when we build healthy environments we build healthy communities.
Prior to The Alliance she founded Coastal SAGE Landscape Architecture and SAGE Landscape Architecture & Environmental. Business achievements include receiving the Wells Fargo Copper Cactus Award for Business Growth 2 years in a row, President's Award from the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) Arizona Chapter; and invitations to speak at national ASLA conference on the topics of Serving Native American Communities and Greenways as Economic Drivers. Her long career leading design teams, coalescing communities, directing innovation in design and teaching students has led her to this milestone juncture – where she translates three decades of professional experience into the singular focus of building healthy places for communities.
Connecting people with parks - engaging communities to create healthy greenspaces - building environments that improve everyday life are the most prominent ways Joy uses her creativity to prepare communities for a healthier future. By combining her talents as an innovator, educator, naturalist and artist, Joy hopes to create a world where both nature and human health are abundant. She lives to help communities become wiser by working together to find new and creative ways to push good ideas into action.
