Meet Our Team

Washington’s National Park Fund Board of Directors and staff — in close partnership with national park superintendents and rangers — are committed to working together to advance projects that benefit Mount Rainier, North Cascades and Olympic National Parks. We are grateful for all the board members who volunteer their time, talents and ideas. Together, we’re making a significant difference for our national parks. Join us.
