An outdoor enthusiast all of her adult life, Kathie Fowler has traveled extensively in the Himalayas, both privately and with the Sierra Club, and has also led trips in California's Sierra Nevada, Costa Rica, Italy, Ireland and India. One of her greatest pleasures is fostering dialogue between trip participants and the people in other lands to promote greater cross-cultural understanding, as well as demonstrating good stewardship of the environment.
As past Director of Communications (retired) for a winery in California's Napa Valley, Kathie was actively involved in consensus building between environmentalists and winegrowers. When not working or traveling, Kathie breeds and shows Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.
