InfoMartin, a Chapel Hill resident, recently completed a one-and-a-half-year stint as interim director of the Charlotte-based Carolinas office of the Trust for Public Land, a national conservation organization.

Martin worked as an attorney in Charlotte from 1968 to 1988, during which time he twice ran for Congress in the mid-1980s. He spent another 12 years with the University of North Carolina system, mostly as vice president for public affairs. In 1998, he vied for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate. He writes a syndicated newspaper column, “One on One,” that appears in more than 40 newspapers around the state, and he is host of UNC-TV’s “North Carolina Bookwatch” series.

“D.G. Martin is someone who cares very deeply about the natural and historic values of our state,” said Liz Rooks, president of the TLC Board. “We appreciate him filling in to allow our long-term director Kate Dixon to pursue her new career goals and for us to have the time to find someone to fill the big shoes Kate leaves behind.”
