Bruce Johnson

Bruce has been an active, enthusiastic and very involved member for several years and we look forward to brining his energy and commitment to the board. He and his wife have spent the last few years making a focused effort to survey and explore their beautiful wooded property in Loudon Co. for native plants and songbirds. 

“I would be honored to be considered a candidate for the
 Board of Directors of the ASNV. By way of background, I grew up in
California, graduated from the University of California and, after 4 years
of active duty with the U.S. Army, spent 31 years with the Central
 Intelligence Agency as a Middle East field officer living overseas with my
wife Jill and son Erik for 27 of those years.

Following my retirement in 2003, I joined Lockheed Martin where I am presently employed. I have been a member of the Audubon Society for the past 5 years and as with many of you, I also belong to companion organizations concerned with the environment and habitat protection. I currently serve on the Advocacy Committee of our ASNV, am working my way through the Master Naturalist Program, am a regular participant in our annual bird counts, and try to assist in other ways time permitting. If elected to the Board, I would look forward to contributing whatever I can to the continued growth and success of our organization.”

Odette D. Scovel

We first met Odette in 2006 when she worked closely with us to distribute the Nature of Change (the flagship publication for Audubon at Home in Northern Virginia) to every public school in Loudoun County. She also arranged Audubon presentations and meetings with Loudoun Co. science teachers and helped bring teachers to our education symposium. We’re very please to suggest her as new board member.

“I am currently the science instructional supervisor (K-12) for Loudoun County Public Schools, one of the fastest growing jurisdictions in the nation, with over 50,000 students.

My formal education includes a B.S. in Biology from Old Dominion University and a M.Ed. in Education from George Mason University.  I began my teaching career in Norfolk City Public Schools and taught in the Department of Defense Dependent Schools (Italy) before coming to Loudoun as a classroom teacher.  In 2001 I  became supervisor of Loudoun science programs.”
