2020: Jackee is the New Belle
2020
signifies a sad semi-departure for our co-founder, Belle Starr. After
almost six years of her steadfast work keeping RMSA afloat, Belle is
taking a much-needed step back and gifting herself with
semi-retirement. She will continue supporting RMSA on Thursdays. Contact
her at belle@rockymountainseeds.We are so grateful for the endless heart and soul she has offered the organization, guiding us into unchartered territory since the beginning.
Thank you, Belle, for being a fearless leader and our bright Starr!
With
Belle’s departure, we are pleased to announce Jackee Alston has joined
the RMSA team. We fortunately met her and husband, Steve Alston, at the
first Great American Seed Up
in 2015. Steve and Jackee volunteered at both Seed
Summits and their contribution to Grain School - Cottonwood was
memorable (and delicious!). They both will be joining us at the Seed
& Grain Experience in Buhl, Idaho.Jackee brings to the table a background in range ecology and wildlife conservation, is a Master Gardener and botany instructor, is the co-editor of the Gardening, Etc. column in her local paper, and the founder of the Grow Flagstaff! Seed Library in Northern Arizona. Jackee will be stepping in to cover many of the tasks Belle handled. Her email is: jackee@rockymountainseeds.org.
Welcome, Jackee!
