Through her leadership at SCWF, Angela brought together a network of conservation organizations that are working on environmental advocacy issues statewide. She was also instrumental in reestablishing an effort to introduce youngsters to the outdoors through various educational opportunities. She has been the recipient of the Charlie Shaw Conservation Partnership Award from the National Wildlife Federation and the Evelyn Thayer Chace award from Audubon South Carolina. The oldest of six children and the daughter of a West Virginia coal miner, Angela’s conservation ethic can be traced to her roots: “As a child I was taught to respect and appreciate all of God’s creations and creatures—animal and human. I was instilled with a sense of coexistence, equality and tolerance. This foundation serves me well as we strive for balance in this ever growing state.” Angela is a graduate of the University of South Carolina, where she received a B.S. degree in Business Administration with a major in Marketing. Her career has been totally focused on nonprofit management with twenty years of service in various capacities with the American Red Cross prior to coming to the SCWF. Angela has also been active in her community of Lexington, SC. : She has served as President of the Rotary Club of Lexington; past member of the board of the Friends of the Lexington County Museum; and past member of the Town of Lexington Advisory Committee and Strategic Planning Committee. She looks forward to becoming an active member of the Spartanburg community. Angela is most proud of her son Jeffrey, who resides in Greer with his wife Wendy and their three children.

Angela M. Viney served as the Executive Director of the South Carolina Wildlife Federation from 1997-2006. Her main thrust over those ten years was to return the organization to its roots of the traditional outdoor sports of hunting and fishing while educating members and the general public on the importance of the conservation of our natural resources.
