National Board

The National Board is the governing body of the Women In Environment organization. We support Chapters through financial grants, the development and maintance of centralized systems and processes, as well as the setting the overall strategic objectives for WIE. We are grateful to be in this community and passionate about providing women with opportunties to connect and grow. We would love to hear from you if you are interested in getting more involved with WIE, in forming an Emerging Chapter, or becoming a sponsor.

Meet our Board of Directors

  • Danille Jorgensen

    President

    Danille has been an active participant of WIE for 15 years, and currently serves as the President of the National Board. She is also on the Board of Directors for Wild Hearts Idaho, a non-profit focused on building leadership in girls through outdoor adventures and served for 3 years on the Board of Directors for Landau Associates. When she’s not wrangling data at Landau Associates, Dani enjoys doing pretty much anything outside, spending time with her beloved Labrador and performing culinary experiments (current obsession = ice cream).

  • Tish Schuyler

    SECRETARY

    Tish (Patricia) Schuyler serves as the co-chair for the Professional Development committee. As a project permitting specialist and biologist at Dudek, Tish navigates clients through regulatory processes associated with biological issues. Tish completed her master's degree in environmental science at Washington State University.

    Two years ago, I relocated to the Portland area to expand my career. As I was looking for organizations that would help me to establish relationships with other women in the environmental field while also becoming an active member of a community, I stumbled upon WIE. Last year we put on a walk throughout Mt. Tabor Park with local herbalists, which helped me understand the local environment. I am looking forward to more adventures with WIE.
