New Chief Financial Officer Joins Endowment

The U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities (the Endowment) today announced the addition of Signe Cann as Chief Financial Officer (CFO).  “We are indeed fortunate to find someone with such rich experience, but perhaps more importantly, one who shares the passion for our mission as well,” said Endowment President Carlton Owen.

In her role with the Endowment, Cann will be responsible for the Endowment’s finances and organizational efficiency.  Cann has served in various CFO and financial consulting roles.   Prior to joining in the full-time capacity she had been conducting a short-term consulting project on ways to enhance the Endowment’s financial systems when she accepted the call to step in as Interim CFO in early January.  She brings wide-ranging experience and commitment to non-profits –especially those working with natural resources.

Cann holds a Masters in Accountancy from the University of South Carolina as well as a B.A. in English Literature from Duke University.  She begins her tenure with the Endowment immediately.
