Meet Our Team

Washington’s National Park Fund staff members are committed to advancing projects that benefit Mount Rainier, North Cascades, and Olympic National Parks, working in close partnership with the parks’ superintendents and rangers.

We are grateful for each of the members of our Board of Directors who volunteer their time, talents, and ideas in support of our mission. Together, we’re making a significant difference for the national parks.
