We’re excited to welcome Briana Yancy to the Interfaith Partners for the Chesapeake (IPC) team! Her arrival marks an exciting step in expanding IPC’s outreach in Prince George’s County, where we look forward to building stronger connections and supporting more local efforts to care for our shared lands and waters.

Prince George’s County is an important part of the Chesapeake watershed, and we see tremendous opportunity to grow our partnerships with the faith communities, institutions, and organizations already doing meaningful work across the region. Through this expanded outreach, IPC hopes to create more opportunities for collaboration, share resources, and support locally driven approaches to environmental stewardship that reflect the unique ecological and cultural histories of the area.

Briana will play an important role in helping bring this work to life. She is a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and holds a Master’s degree in Biology from Miami University in Ohio. Her professional experience spans coalitions, federal agencies, and nonprofit organizations, where she has worked on projects connecting environmental and social science.

Briana is passionate about bringing people and ideas together to create meaningful change. She brings a creative, holistic, and people-centered approach to her work and is especially excited to connect with faith communities, institutions, and descendant groups throughout Prince George’s County. She looks forward to advancing ecologically and culturally informed stewardship that recognizes both the natural environment and the people whose histories and relationships are tied to these places.

As IPC continues to grow its presence in Prince George’s County, we’re excited about the partnerships, shared learning, and local stewardship opportunities ahead. We believe lasting change happens when people come together around a shared purpose, and we’re looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish alongside our neighbors in the county.

Please join us in welcoming Briana to the team!
