Current Position University of Wyoming, Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources, Ruckelshaus Institute August 2012 - present Senior Research Scientist - Human Dimensions of Natural Resources: Conduct social-

psychological research regarding natural resource issues, conflict resolution and policies. Teaching: Teach graduate classes and guest lectures in U.S. and E.U. natural resource

policy and environmental problem solving approaches and collaborative leadership. Outreach:

o Design and facilitate natural resource policy decision-making processes. Provide training for natural resource professionals in collaborative leadership and problem-solving skills and methods (see Trainings below). Attend and present at conferences. Support organizations and individuals in collaborative problem solving efforts.

Director of the Collaboration Program in Natural Resources: Enhance collaborative capacity for the State of Wyoming and beyond in natural resource issues through this year-long leadership training program for middle and upper management staff of agencies, NGO’s and other organizations in collaborative decision-making skills, problem solving, and design and facilitation of public policy processes. I wrote the curriculum for this first Western Collaborative leadership training. The curriculum consists of five 2-day trainings, and is designed to meet the 10 Collaborative Competencies of the University Network for Collaborative Governance. In this training professionals learn to design, convene, and sustain a collaborative process, implement its outcomes, and apply adaptive management methodologies in relation to natural resource issues that are characterized by diverse stakeholder involvement, complex information and other factors. The Collaboration Program is designed for natural resource professionals to: 1. Acquire the facilitative leadership skills to convene, facilitate and sustain progressive

collaborative problem-solving processes. 2. Acquire the participative leadership skills to effectively participate in natural resource

multi-party collaborative processes.

3. Acquire the leadership skills to convene and use a collaborative proposal process for

natural resource decision-making.

The curriculum uses an active learning methodology, consisting of a combination of lectures, scenario and role-playing exercises, panels and practical experience. This Program is now being attended by its fourth cohort. Each cohort has between 15 and 13 participants. This involves outreach, organizing logistics, program evaluation, updating lectures and role- playing scenarios, mentoring, supervision of staff and continual updating of curriculum and lesson plans.
