Jan Sanburg
Operations and Finance Manager

Jan has called Shaw Island home since 1968 and enjoys many aspects of small-scale farming, including the importance of how everything is connected and how we must all work to keep the environment healthy. She and her son enjoy spending time at the beach and camping in the PNW. The islands are a special place to call home, and it is important to protect them. Jan joined Friends in 2017 and brings over two decades of professional experience, a BS in Business Administration, Marketing and Accounting, and Project Management certification.

We believe that our property is more valuable if we and our neighbors protect the shoreline. Orcas need salmon. Salmon need forage fish. Salmon and forage fish need the protection of eelgrass and kelp. Eelgrass and kelp need clean water. Shoreline protections are good for ecosystems and for the long-term economy of these lovely islands.
