MBVRC has added new directors to the nonprofit’s board. Board members are:
Dr. Pete Stelling, a professor in the Geology Department at Western Washington University in Bellingham. Pete has done plenty of volcano studies in the Aleutian arc in Alaska. His website is here.
Dave Tucker, an adjunct research associate at WWU. Dave has been involved in Mount Baker researcher (principally mapping and tephra distribution studies) since the mid-90s. Dave hosts the Northwest Geology Field Trips website.
Sue Madsen, a fisheries ecologist and stream restoration specialist with the Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group. Sue has experience with nonprofit fund raising.
John Scurlock is a pilot famed for his photos of the North Cascades, but Mount Baker in particular. We call him the commander of the MBVRC’s air wing. His photos can be found here. When he isn’t flying, he is an EMT with Whatcom Medic One.
Sue and John are new to the board for 2011. Kevin Scott (CVO-USGS), who served for two years, has retired. Board members are volunteers, and are elected to two-year terms by other board members. Primary tasks for this year’s board will be to solicit grant support for the field trips program, and put together a grant program to help fund Mount Baker researchers.
