Today, we are sharing some important news with our community. After more than seven years of dedicated service, our President & CEO, Bert Vescolani, will be departing Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance this December. 

Bert helped shape so much of what DZCA is today—from new habitats and expanded conservation work to the caring, committed culture our community knows and loves. 

He shared his deep gratitude for everyone who makes this place extraordinary, and he leaves with complete confidence in our team. 

Our Chief Operating Officer, Cristal Torres DeHerrera, will continue serving as Acting President & CEO while the Board begins a national search for our next leader 

Thank you, Bert, for your kindness, your vision, and the meaningful change you helped create.
