We are happy to welcome Ramona Faust to REFBC’s Board of Governors. Ramona has been appointed by the Union of BC Municipalities. 

Ramona is in her third term as the Regional District of Central Kootenay Director for Electoral Area E, which surrounds the City of Nelson on three sides and is home to 3,800 people. As a local official, she has worked with staff to review development applications and to lead community planning. Together with other board members whose electoral area borders Kootenay Lake, she has instigated the Kootenay Lake Partnership and the Kootenay Lake Conservation Program.

Ramona has several years of experience writing and reviewing grant applications, most recently as a member of the Vancouver Foundation’s Environment Grant Advisory Committee. She has also worked as a senior manager and volunteered in community services, local forestry, food systems and watershed protection.

Outside of work, Ramona enjoys gardening, yoga, singing and spending time with her friends and family. Welcome, Ramona!
