Excutive Director: Roaring Fork Leadership

Executive Director of Roaring Fork Leadership 

As you may have heard, Roaring Fork Leadership is welcoming a new Executive Director, Andrea Palm-Porter.  As the new executive director of Roaring Fork Leadership (RFL), Palm-Porter will be instrumental in guiding the non-profit as it expands beyond its core leadership educational program to provide meaningful opportunities to practice and apply what has been learned for the betterment of our communities. The board is very excited to welcome Andrea as our Executive Director.

“My experience guiding organizations into new markets and finding new opportunities, most recently as Director of Revenue Development for Colorado Mountain News Media, is directly transferable to the challenges facing RFL as they broaden their mission,” says Palm-Porter.  Palm-Porter replaces Terri Anuszewski officially on September 1, but has been working alongside Terri to enable a seamless transition since August.

Palm-Porter’s career trajectory is impressive.  She began as an Advertising Director with Colorado Mountain News Media and quickly moved into the Publisher role at the Glenwood Springs Post Independent and on to Director of Revenue Development.  She was able to accomplish this feat by never turning down challenges and being passionate about achieving marketing, communications, business strategy thinking, and partnership building goals.  As a graduate and former board member of the Vail Leadership Institute, alumnus of the American Leadership Forum, and a participant in past RFL community class sessions, Palm-Porter is just as passionate about leadership.
