The Sun Valley Institute for Resilience announces the hiring of Nate Twichell as Executive Director to guide the organization, whose mission is to ensure that the Valley community, economy, and ecosystems thrive.
Twichell joined the Sun Valley Institute for Resilience team as Deputy Director in July of 2021. He has been instrumental in progressing the Impact Idaho Fund into a powerful new resource to provide patient, low-cost capital to build community resilience. His professional background is in education and nonprofit administration, most recently working as the Leader of Institutional Advancement at The Sage School.
Twichell will be stepping into the role after current Executive Director, Lexie Praggastis, stepped down due to family matters requiring her attention. Lexie assumed the Executive Director role in mid-2020, guiding the organization through the pandemic, building on the organization’s legacy, and leading the way on the launch of the Impact Idaho Fund.
