MEET THE PROPOSED MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE RED LODGE AREA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION:
Jackie Ogg
I greatly value the unique role community foundations play in creating healthy and vibrant places like Red Lodge. As a part-time resident, I’m especially grateful for all RLACF does to make the community so welcoming and as much of an attraction as the area’s trails, fishing, and natural wonders.
Jackie was fortunate enough to spend a decade working in a senior leadership role at the Greater Washington Community Foundation in DC. During that time she developed an understanding of – and appreciation for – some of the opportunities and challenges community foundations face. Included among these is how to support and sustain important community initiatives while building the operational capacity of the foundation itself. While her experience was in a much more urban area, she welcomes the chance to think through how my lessons learned might apply to the more rural Red Lodge community and the exciting work of the RLACF.
Chris Lorash
I am energized by their commitment to the Red Lodge Community and hope that I can add to the already excellent leadership team.
I have a passion for volunteering and look forward to working with the foundation in any capacity I can. As a young missionary, the feeling of being able to provide service to another person left a permanent mark on me. I’m grateful to be able to use this opportunity to work more deeply with RLACF and hopefully inspire others in the community to serve!
MARTHA BROWN
“RLACF is doing so much to help our community, by convening, incubating, and directly serving community initiatives. I’m proud to be part of this dynamic and impactful organization.”
Martha studied at Montana State University, then held university administrative posts in Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nebraska, along the way earning her PhD. Her last position was at College of Saint Mary in Omaha where she served as vice president and special assistant to the president. Coming full circle back to Montana, Martha is now actively engaged in the Red Lodge community. Named 2018 Red Lodge Citizen of the Year, she helped found the Red Lodge Area Food Partnership Council and served two terms on the Red Lodge City Council. Martha is married to Marty Clague and has four grown children and six grandchildren.

Alan Schuyler
“I serve on the Foundation board as a way to give back to the communities I live in, and I can serve as a liaison between the communities of Roberts and Red Lodge.”
We’d sing Alan’s praises, but he can do it much better himself — he sang with the Anchorage Opera Chorus for decades and now sings with a local group called Home Brewed Harmony. Alan returned to his family farm in Montana in 2008 to care for his parents, after 30 years of regulatory compliance and environmental permitting work in California and Alaska with one of the largest U.S. oil companies. He’s served on boards for organizations promoting the performing arts, preventing environmental pollution, and assisting people with HIV/AIDS, and his local board service includes the Roberts Community Foundation. Alan is an avid international traveler and has a home in San Diego, his “urban sanctuary.”
Affiliations: ARCO/ConocoPhilips, Anchorage Opera Guild, Alaska Center for the Performing Arts, Pacific Northwest Pollution Prevention Resource Center (Seattle), Green Star, Inc. (Anchorage), Alaskan AIDS Assistance Association, Rimrock Opera Board of Directors (Billings), Roberts Community Foundation, Roberts United Methodist Church.
Kathleen Delahanty
“Being a member of the RLACF Board is an honor and I am grateful for the opportunity it gives me to serve our community. It amazes me that what began as a local Fun Run for nonprofits has grown into a being a big, beautiful, innovative organization that enriches and supports the people and the place of Red Lodge and the surrounding area.”
