Barbara joined the Board in 2022. She has lived in NW Colorado since 2005, attracted by the inter-mountain west landscape, wildlife and outdoor recreation. The opportunity to pivot to her passion for the natural world was embraced following a Ph.D. in chemistry and serial careers as a research scientist at the NIH and a research and development engineer in the semiconductor industry. She has worked vigorously on issues including public lands management, regulations for oil and gas development to protect communities and the environment, protections for clean air/water and wildlife habitat and the transition to clean transportation and power generation. That work has included serving on the NW Colorado BLM Resource Advisory Council (2011-2017), the Alliance oil & gas team, as lead on the WORC oil & gas campaign team, and Transportation Commissioner for NW CO.
