Seeking a kinder, gentler life, Linda moved to the Pacific Northwest in 1991 after four decades in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2023 she moved back to California in pursuit of sunny weather and a rural environment on its Central Coast. With her BS degree in Conservation of Natural Resources, Linda worked at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in its infancy. Not cut out to be a bureaucrat, Linda changed careers, spending over 40 years in the nonprofit sector. She was the first executive director of the Oregon Jewish Museum and Portland Parks Foundation. She recently retired from her 25 years as a consultant, supporting nonprofit boards and executive directors, including leading efforts for operational and capital campaign funding.
