Bradley Davidson, Executive Director

Bradley Davidson was appointed executive director of Conservation Alabama in August 2021 after serving almost two decades in Alabama’s non-profit, advocacy, and political sectors. Before coming to Conservation Alabama, Bradley ran his own consulting firm where he provided services including part-time state and federal compliance and administrative support to federal political campaigns, party committees, political action committees, and non-profit organizations.

Bradley has spent a large portion of his career working directly with the Alabama legislature as well as city councils, school boards, county commissions, and other local, state, and federal elected officials and agencies across Alabama. He has also advocated for clean energy tax policy in the New Mexico and Oklahoma statehouses. One of his chief concerns is civic engagement and voter participation. As Executive Director of Empower Alabama, he developed and executed a $1.4 million voter contact program to increase voter registration among youth. His passion for civic engagement was largely what attracted him to the conservation voters movement.

Bradley is a native of Selma and holds a B.S. in business (finance) from the University of Alabama, an M.A. in economics from Vanderbilt University, and a graduate certificate in public administration from the University of Virginia. A native of Alabama’s Black Belt, Bradley rejoices in the knowledge that his work is protecting the things that make Alabama a great place to live—our spectacular landscapes, wildlife, clean air, and clean water. Bradley lives in the Birmingham metro area and enjoys spending his free time visiting our nation’s 63 national parks and exploring the nooks and crannies of rural Alabama.
