Jon was elected to the TVTU Board in November 2013. He has been an active participant and organizing member for our own Christmas for Coho program. Beyond that direct contribution Jon is very familiar with conservation items and particularly the scourge that is invasive plants in the West - so much so he is the executive director of The Western Invasive Plant Alliance - a non-profit dedicated to preventing the introduction and spread of invasive plants; they are headquartered in Tigard, Oregon. Jon is also an active member with the Tualatin River Watershed Council as Commercial and Recreational Fisheries Representative; he also is a member of that councils Watershed Watch Committee.
We appreciate Jon's dedication and welcome him to the vice-presidency!
