Membership Drive Mustache Challange

To spice things up in our first ever Membership drive, Great City’s Executive Director, Joshua Curtis, has issued a challenge to Cascade Land Conservancy’s President, Gene Duvernoy.

The Challenge

As Great City has continued to evolve and succeed, we’ve realized there is one thing we don’t have: a leader with a legendary mustache. As many of you know, Great City owes much to the Cascade Land Conservancy. The Conservancy helped us as we got started as our fiscal sponsor and currently they are an important partner in our work. Gene Duvernoy, President of this fine organization, has been a tireless advocate for regional conservation and community building for the past 30 years. He’s brilliant, strategic and an inspired speaker. He also has perhaps the most robust mustache in Seattle’s environmental community.

So in keeping with our “scrappy” image, Joshua Curtis has challenged Gene to a 3 month mustache competition. While Great City recognizes that this is an uphill battle, we feel our Executive Director has a fighting chance to grow something that approaches the legendary Duvernoy brush. Says Joshua, “Gene’s mustache has been an inspiration to us all. But I think I can take him.” Bold words, or sheer delusion? Join Great City and you will have a chance to vote for the winner and will be invited to an event in late-February to celebrate him.

Great City and Cascade Land Conservancy

Great City has always had a close relationship with Cascade Land Conservancy. In 2005, Michael McGinn took his idea for Great City to the Conservancy, which agreed to take the group on as a program of The Cascade Agenda. This 100-year vision and immediate action plan recognizes that to protect our rural and working landscapes we must make our cities great places. Cascade Land Conservancy welcomed Great City as a natural partner to help make Seattle a great place to live, work and raise our families. While Great City now is its own 501(c)(3) non-profit, we continue to work and partner with the Conservancy.
