Sportsmen’s Alliance CEO Moderates NASCAR Green Summit 2015 Event N ick Pinizzotto, President and CEO of Sportsmen’s Alliance was asked to moderate an all-star cast of conservation leaders at the NASCAR Green Summit 2015 American Ethanol/e15 in Chicago. “I was excited when NASCAR asked me to moderate this forum, which included some of our industry’s top leaders,” said Pinizzotto. “It was a great opportunity for all of us to showcase our conservation work to NASCAR’s gigantic fan base.” The event brought together a representation of leaders and influencers in environmental sustainability and business to address the current and future state of green in sports and beyond. The discussion Pinizzotto moderated pertained to wildlife conservation and sustainability. The panel included leaders of the largest conservation organizations in the country, among them: Ducks Unlimited CEO Dale Hall, National Wild Turkey Federation CEO George Thornton, Pheasants and Quail Forever CEO Howard Vincent and Quality Deer Management Association CEO Brian Murphy. Given NASCAR’s millions of fans, a large portion of whom hunt, fish and trap, the chance to connect with the organization and spread the name and message of Sportsmen’s Alliance was a huge opportunity.
