Upon moving to Teton Valley in 2003, Bonnie’s first local position was as the Director of Finance & Development for Friends of the Teton River. This position was followed by eight years as the Director of Operations and Development for the Teton Regional Land Trust, including a 9-month stint as Interim Executive Director. From 2013-2022, Bonnie served as the Statewide Manager of Foundation and Government Relations for Climb Wyoming, an organization that offers job training and placement for low-income, single mothers. She has also served in a volunteer capacity on the Teton Springs Foundation Board, Teton Valley Aquatics Advisory Committee, Alta School P.T.O., and Old Bill’s Fun Run Committee, among others.

Bonnie has “admired the Community Foundation’s role in community-based and programmatic initiatives” over the last 15 years. She appreciates seeking opportunities for collaboration and to support organizations engaged in solving critical community issues. Bonnie resides in Teton Valley with her husband Doug and daughter Zoe. She enjoys skiing, biking, and walking her dog Roxy in her free time.
