About LORI
Lori was born and raised in Wyoming, though her ventures took her to several other places before landing in neighboring Montana. After receiving a B.S. in Finance from the University of Wyoming, she went east for an internship with then-U.S. Senator Craig Thomas in Washington, D.C. Lori’s passion for habitat conservation developed during her time in the Government Relations and External Affairs Department at the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. Following some explorations in southeast Alaska and the West, she moved to Missoula. Since joining the IWJV in 2011, Lori has helped keep operations running smoothly through support to staff, partners, and the Management Board. She also puts her extensive event planning experience to work in the production of various IWJV meetings and field tours. Lori’s personal passions include playing outdoors and traveling around the world.
