Ron Milam
I grew up in Southern California and attended college in the Pacific Northwest, where I first fell in love with Cascadia. I later returned to Los Angeles and lived in an intentional community, the Los Angeles Eco-Village, which practiced community-decision making, permaculture and climate resilience in an urban context. I started a nonprofit bicycle advocacy coalition and later launched my own consulting practice, serving numerous networks as a facilitator. After a short stint working on affordable housing related issues in New York City, I spent a summer bicycling from Vancouver, Canada to Los Angeles, connecting with leadership working on a broad array of sustainability oriented issues along the way. My wife grew up in Seattle and for the last 15 years, we’ve spent time in Cascadia visiting her family. In late 2020, we made a big pandemic move to Seattle, where we are now raising our three children. I’ve fallen back in love with the bioregion and am looking for opportunities to deepen my engagement here.

Daniel Chesney
I am an artist/musician turned activist. I currently work with the PROUT Institute and New Era Convergence Eugene studying and researching systems change implementation.
I am a divergent thinker. My expertise is in taking disparate systems and thought ecosystems and finding connective tissue between these systems. This expertise has been forged through a career in art and music that uses the material local to my practice to create novel envisionings of new worlds and systems that might exist in them.
