“The place to improve the world is first in one’s own heart and head and hands.” — Robert M. Pirsig
As our remarkable Executive Director for four critical years, Jerry Millhon has led with wisdom, passion, and perception. During this time, he has also birthed our Thriving Communities Initiative: connecting and supporting local communities that are learning from one another around key issues such as food, economy, health, and shelter. He’s helped build a powerful and impassioned team, fostering a leadership-rich community at Chinook. Now, we’re excited to announce that he’s honoring his heart’s calling by stepping more fully into Thriving Communities leadership. We’re proud of Jerry, both for what he’s done as the Institute’s Executive Director and for what he’ll do next in his evolving role.
