Three NOLS Alumni
Join the Board of Trustees
WILDERNESS QUIZ
17
On behalf of the NOLS Board of Trustees, Chair Michael
Schmertzler would like to welcome and very briefly
introduce three of the newly elected members: Doug
Luke, Rob Nimmo and Amy Wyss.
Doug is a returning trustee well known to the
NOLS community with particular affection for the
Three Peaks Ranch and a record of significant broad
contribution to the school.
Rob Nimmo is a two-time NOLS graduate—
Alaska Sea Kayaking and Patagonia Backpacking. He
is Australian, retired from a career as a risk management
executive with several leading North American
commercial banks, who now lives in Oregon with his
wife, Linda Jensen.
Amy Wyss is also a two-time NOLS graduate—
Wind River Wilderness and India Mountaineering—
and a WEMT. She lives in Wyoming with her family and
is active in leading several nonprofit organizations.
We welcome the passion and diverse talents and
perspectives that Doug, Rob and Amy will bring to
NOLS as Trustees.
NOLS also acknowledges Fred Kleisner and Jon
Hamren, whose Board terms ended at the most recent
meeting in June, for their contributions as
Trustees and long histories of engagement with
NOLS. The Board looks forward to their continuing
involvement with the school.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Honor Another:
Giving a Gift with Meaning
‘Tis the season when many of us find ourselves braving
shopping malls, flipping through catalogs and
scouring the web in search of the perfect gift. This
year, consider something different. Tell everyone on
your gift list just how important he or she is to you
by NOT giving more stuff but instead making a gift in
their honor to NOLS.
Our secure, easy-to-use online gift form, makes
it a snap to donate to NOLS in honor of another person.
Online giving is safe, convenient, and doesn’t
need to be gift-wrapped! We’ll help you notify the
honoree by sending them a letter acknowledging
your gift in their honor.
Giving a gift to NOLS also comes with a gift for
you. But unlike other gifts that are collecting dust in
a closet, this is one that you can always use. You’ll
receive a tax deduction on this year’s taxes for any
gift made by December 31.
And finally, with your thoughtful support, NOLS
continues to change lives and remains the world’s
best teacher of wilderness skills and leadership.
Imagine those crowded shopping malls, those
catalogs piling up or your too slow Internet connection,
and then think of the convenience and satisfaction of
giving such a meaningful gift to everyone on your list.
Answer: Australia, the Tallowa Primitive Reserve
in the gorges near Bundanoon, New South Wales.
Championed by Myles Dunphy and his colleagues
in the National Parks and Primitive Areas Counsel,
the area was set aside in 1932 as a reserve to protect
its wilderness qualities.
