Board Member

Becky Champion brings a wealth of conservation experience and expertise to MCT. She is recently retired from the Watershed Protection Branch with the Environmental Protection Division of Georgia DNR where she was Assistant Branch Chief for Watershed Protection for the Coosa-Tallapoosa-Tennessee Rivers.

She has served on the Board of Directors of the Chattahoochee Riverkeeper, TERN, Chattahoochee Valley Land Trust, Georgia Conservancy, Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District, Garden Club of Georgia, and Georgia & Alabama Land Trust.

Becky received her Ph.D. from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1993. She spent most of her career teaching for various universities and colleges in Georgia – Columbus State, Kennesaw State, Mercer College of Pharmacy, and Brenau University. In addition to her teaching responsibilities with Columbus State, Becky was Executive Director of Oxbow Meadows Environmental Learning Center.

Becky enjoys gardening, playing with her dogs, working on her old house, and playing what she describes as a less than mediocre round of golf.

One of Becky’s favorite quotes comes from Margaret Mead, “[n]ever a doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
