Christy Goldfuss is a former American government official who chaired the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) within the Executive Office of the President from 2015 to 2017. She served as Deputy Director of the National Park Service in the Obama administration.[1] She also worked as a legislative staff member for the House Committee on Natural Resources and as a reporter.[1]
Before joining the park service, she worked at the Center for American Progress,[2] a liberal think tank, where she was head of the public lands project.[3]
Following the end of Barack Obama's presidency, Goldfuss rejoined the Center for American Progress.[4] She is a member of the National Infrastructure Advisory Council.[5]
In 2022, Goldfuss joined the non-profit environmental advocacy group the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) as the Chief Policy Impact Officer.[6] In December 2023, she was promoted to NRDC Executive Director and made national news one week later after announcing a sweeping reorganization of the institution that included laying off dozens of employees.[7] In June 2024, Goldfuss and NRDC President and Chief Executive Officer, Manish Bapna, announced a second round of layoffs impacting 45 employees, 26 of which targeted union members including staff engaged in bargaining.[8]
