Kas Guillozet
Board of Directors
she/her/hers
Kas joined the Friends’ Board in late 2021 and is excited to bring her experience and passion for collaborative conservation to the organization. She admires the Friends because their work addresses so many critical issues central to the quality of life in the San Juans.
Kas holds a PhD in Forest Resources and Social Science from Oregon State University’s College of Forestry and a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from The Evergreen State College. She has worked at numerous nonprofits over the course of her career, and will leverage that experience in her role as board member. Kas currently works as a Watershed Program Senior Director at the Bonneville Environmental Foundation, where she helps lead a public-private partnership called “Floodplains by Design” which supports diverse partners in advancing integrated floodplain management throughout Washington. She also supports projects relating to climate adaptation, native plants, and coastal resilience/blue carbon.
Kas and her husband have nearly finished building their home on Orcas Island and look forward to exploring the islands and deepening connections to people, lands, and waters here in the years to come.
