Meet The Board
Kate Stoddard
Board President
Kate Stoddard grew up in Boise, Idaho with rural roots. Her grandfather was born and raised in Leadore and her grandmother in Challis. Kate moved to Salmon in 2014, feeling a magnetic pull to its central location near the heart of Idaho's wilderness lands. Being a river guide on the Middle Fork and Main Salmon rivers since 2007 instilled a strong sense of stewardship and duty regarding wild and natural landscapes. Kate is a guide liason for the Redside Foundation and has a masters in the science of nutrition, which led her to start her social impact business Orchestra Provisions. Kate is a mother to Wren Wilson, and this is the part of her identity that means the most to her. When spare time comes, he runs straight to the hills to be outside in any way possible, often backcountry skiing, kayaking, mountain biking...or simply walking in the woods.
Cori Allen
Board Treasurer
Born and raised just over the hill in the Bitterroot Valley, Cori eventually found her way to Boise, Idaho where she met her sweetheart, who had grown up in Salmon. In 2006, they made an impulsive decision to leave city life behind for a slower pace and decided to move back to Salmon, jumping feet first into the community. Whether you run into her volunteering on various boards, youth sports, or civic groups, Cori and her husband, Ryan believe very strongly that Salmon is an amazing place to live and raise a family.
Kristin Greiner
Board Secretary
Kristin grew up in the Pacific Northwest spending most of her time outdoors with her family. Her love for the outdoors and conservation only grew after she left home and became a river guide and camp cook. Guiding around the world, she kept finding herself back in Salmon playing on the river or skiing at LT. In 2016, she decided this was the place she wanted to put her roots down. Now Kristin and her husband have a beautiful daughter and son who they can't wait to share all that the public lands and Lemhi County have to offer.
