OARS has launched a nationwide search for a new Executive Director to guide the organization as we pursue our mission to protect, improve, and preserve the Sudbury, Assabet, and Concord River watersheds for all people and wildlife.

Alison Field-Juma, the current Executive Director, announced her pending retirement in a special e-mail message sent to the OARS community on August 18, 2023. Alison plans to retire in June of 2024.
