Time in nature, whatever that looks like on any given day, is an essential way to both inspire and calm the senses. We are so fortunate to have three national parks in the great state of Washington, and I’m honored to be part of WNPF’s efforts to preserve and protect these treasures.

Laura LeDoux is a seasoned finance leader with over 20 years of experience in financial planning, accounting, and business analytics. She currently serves as Director of Financial Planning and Analysis at Recreational Equipment, Inc.

Outside of her professional role, Laura has served as Cubmaster for Cub Scout Pack 638 since 2019 and is proudly guiding her three children on their scouting journeys as they work their way from the Lion rank in kindergarten up to Eagle Scout.
