Ron Jones is the director
of TIAER at Tarleton State University, which he founded
in 1991 out of a need to address emerging environmental
concerns. After establishing working relationships with
EPA Office of Policy and USDA Natural Resources Conservation
Service, as well as the state of Texas, Mr. Jones has
been responsible for leading our multidisciplinary approach
to resolving landscape issues in a number of watersheds
and for conceptualizing policy solutions that link industry
and institutional delivery systems.
During his tenure with TIAER, Mr.
Jones has worked with local, state, and federal officials
to rethink environmental policies, institutional arrangements,
and compliance programs as they relate to land management
and agriculture. Mr. Jones has extensive experience
in working with stakeholders on natural resource issues
including organizing and conducting focus groups, constituency
committees, and expert and peer input processes. He
also has expertise in development of alternative institutional
frameworks for addressing natural resource issues, analysis
of policy implications of existing governmental programs,
and evaluation of the costs of environmental compliance
to the private sector.
Mr. Jones has been involved
in environmental issues since 1969. He received a B.S.
in agronomy and an M.S. in agricultural economics from
Texas A&M University.
