Christine Thomas stands out in every crowd that surrounds her, probably because few can match her passionate work for Wisconsin’s natural resources and the people, history and institutions that nurture them.
Of course, it helps Thomas’ profile that she’s been dean, associate dean or interim dean of the College of Natural Resources at UW-Stevens Point nearly 20 years; and served 11 years on Wisconsin’s governor-appointed Natural Resources Board, including three years as its chair.
And yes, it also helps that she founded the nationally recognized Becoming an Outdoors-Woman program; serves or has served on the governing boards and highest councils of Ducks Unlimited, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the Boone and Crockett Club; and served at the presidents’ pleasure on hunting heritage councils coordinated by the Department of the Interior during the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations.
