As SVP Seattle's Communications Director, Willow has the enviable task of sharing stories of amazing individuals and organizations that are changing our world for the better.
Prior to joining SVP, Willow managed communications campaigns among regional coalitions working to restore and protect the Mississippi River and Great Lakes ecosystems. Willow has an MS from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a BA in Environmental Studies from Hampshire College. She’s a huge fan of farmers’ markets, movie marathons, anything that gets her out on the water, and roller derby (though extreme klutziness relegates her to fan status only).

- Community feedback
- SVP Seattle's newsletter, blog, Web site, media coverage, and other communications

2012 Flashback + Happy Holidays!
There is so much to celebrate as we look back at 2012! From the awesome work of our Investees and Partners, to the kids and natural places thriving because of their work. (Not to mention the invention of the bike-powered blender, which we test-rode at the SVP conference!) Check out our flashback in this short video.
Compost – Is this what advocacy looks like?
