President
Pacific Mountain Institute
(Non-Profit Organization Management industry)
January 2009 — Present (11 months)
The mission of the Pacific Mountain Institute is to foster innovative solutions for complex social and environmental problems, with a primary focus on researching, developing, and incubating projects that are based on social entrepreneurship. The purpose of focusing on social entrepreneurial projects is two-fold; first it provides a path for individual project to be self-sustaining and thus deliver services more consistently over time, and secondly it places the emphasis on engaging the general public as key decision-makers for addressing social and environmental issues.
RiverBasins.org--
The first project under development is a geographically based website for coordinating multi-stakeholder efforts at environmental conservation and restoration. This online community for coordinating environmental management efforts will be operated as a stand-alone website available to the general public at any time at www.riverbasins.org.
As this project develops further, it will serve as a repository and summary for the general public of the data and information provided by diverse stakeholders on the complexity involved in the environmental management of a particular geographical region such as a watershed or river basin.
Gear to Grow--
The Gear to Grow Program allows outdoor retailers and manufacturers to donate gear for a tax deduction and for the benefit of educating the public and getting more people involved in outdoor recreation. Simply put, we broker gear between the donors and organizations getting people involved in the outdoors. -
