After BoardWalk conducted an extensive national search, Doug Widener was recently appointed President and CEO of Piedmont Park Conservancy. He was interviewed by SaportaReport to talk about his recent relocation to Atlanta and his top priorities in his new position.

“The Piedmont Park Conservancy turns 35 next year,” Widener said. “I want to build more awareness. Where are places where we can do even more maintenance. It’s time to do a master plan again. We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to expand the park. We need a comprehensive shared vision. It’s a perfect time to be doing this.”
