Jon Wilmot, Spokane, WA State Advocate
I am fortunate to live in the Inland Northwest, which is abundant with recreation and wild places. During my time as state advocate I hope to help the membership numbers in Washington State grow; I enjoy teaching Master Educator and Trainer Courses. I am currently trying to involve Leave No Rrace with recreational events around Washington. I think the best way to impact Washington State with Leave No Trace, aside from role modeling the Principles, is help its membership base grow and increase its number of Partners in Washington State.
