Frank Paganelli
Lane Powell Shareholder Frank Paganelli has been elected to the Board of Directors of EarthCorps, a Seattle-based nonprofit that envisions a global community of leaders who create a world where people and nature thrive together. The organization brings together passionate and hardworking young adults from the U.S. and countries around the globe, for a yearlong leadership-training program in Seattle. Corps members acquire leadership skills by working collaboratively, leading community volunteers, and executing technical restoration projects along shorelines, trails and in forests across the Puget Sound region. After the yearlong program, these young leaders leave EarthCorps with the tools and skills to tackle the pressing issues of our time — including climate change, pollution and ecological degradation — to create a better world for all. When asked about Paganelli’s election, EarthCorps Executive Director Steve Dubiel shared, “Frank brings highly valued legal expertise, policymaking experience and a passion for the environment to the table. All of us at EarthCorps are thrilled to have him on our board.”

He is an experienced general counsel with significant corporate strategy and business management experience, and works with management teams, investors, boards of directors and business owners to address strategic opportunities and challenges.
