Park Leaders Show : Park Ranger | National Park | State Park | Leadership

Armando Quintero spent 22 years with the National Park Service. Now, Armando is the Executive Director of the Sierra Nevada Research Institute at The University of California, Merced.  When Armando left his career as parks, he knew his background would allow him to be an advocate for parks from the outside.  Experience from the inside and the outside of parks has given Armando a unique perspective of our parks and their place in our society. Armando discusses the importance of adaptive leadership in parks.  Armando recommends The Forest Ranger by Herbert Kaufman.
