| Jennifer Phillippi |

Jennifer Phillippi is Business Manager of Rough & Ready Lumber Company. She is also President of Perpetua Forests Company, and a third-generation family sawmill owner and forest landowner. Phillippi served as a core stakeholder in the development of the Oregon Board of Forestry's strategic plan, the 2003 Forestry Program for Oregon, a public process about which she says she was "heartened to see a thoughtful and balanced attitude towards an issue that in other settings often becomes politically divisive with ineffective results." Phillippi views the current Oregon Forest Practices rules as both "productive and flexible, allowing landowners to respond to the conditions of different forest types while also accommodating diverse, individual objectives. Having grown up in a rural, forested area, she has a particularly close connection to the woods.
