Sarah McDonald, Treasurer

Sarah works as Land Protection Specialist for Colorado Open Lands, a statewide conservation organization committed to preserving Colorado’s natural heritage. Sarah has a passion for restoring and enhancing the connection between people and place that stems from her background growing up as the sixth generation on a family cattle ranch. Sarah was fortunate enough to see the transformative power of community action through the founding and continued success of the Malpai Borderlands Group, a collaborative conservation group that her parents helped to establish. Sarah has worked with Arizona communities on land use visioning and with Maasai pastoralists on sustainable eco-tourism ventures. Sarah believes that safe, healthy, educated, inspired youth are the core of a vibrant community. She co-founded the Magna Mentoring Project in Tucson, Arizona, a group created to help first-in-family students get to college, and she is currently a mentor with The Bridge Project in Denver. When she is not on a Colorado trail, Sarah is either enjoying Denver’s wonderful public library system, or trying not to be a road hazard on her new bicycle.

Susie Lewis, Secretary

Susie was born and raised in South Florida and developed her appreciation for the outdoors wading waist-high through Everglades swamps and kayaking the state’s extensive river system. This upbringing, coupled with extensive travel to many unique places around the world, convinced Susie of the necessity to change business as usual. She took a hands-on approach to behavior change as an undergraduate student and worked on such projects as helping launch a campus-wide sustainability organization and lobbying for a renewable energy student fee for the university. Susie has worked the past few years in the corporate sector in one of the areas closest to her heart - the intersection of sustainability and food/agriculture.

Throughout the years, she worked on such issues as local and organic food sourcing, energy and water conservation, employee education and behavior change, student engagement, marketing, and high-level strategic planning. A recent transplant to Colorado in 2010, Susie is now pursuing her MBA at the University of Colorado -LEEDS School of Business, focusing on Sustainability and Finance. In her spare time, Susie enjoys hiking, biking, live music, cooking and reading.

Jessica George

Jessica is the Grant Family Farms CSA Representative for the Denver/Boulder area. She worked as a technical writer for 10 years, but for the last 5 of those years had been looking for a more meaningful path. She found it in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). Once Jessica purchased her first season of shares from the farm, all she wanted to do was get others to join as well. Realizing that everyone should have access to healthy food, she is working as a liason between Grant Farms and Revision International to bring their CSA shares to families in low-income communities.
