Trista Patterson is an ecological economist with the U.S. Forest Service. She has been a member of the Society since the ISEE meeting in Santiago, Chile in 1998. The insight, creativity, and energy from other ecological economists buoyed her own efforts throughout that year, and she has not missed a national or international meeting since. The doctoral and EE certificate program at the University of Maryland, a 3 year lecture/research residency at University of Siena, Italy in EE, and the Donella Meadows Leadership Fellows Program (2004-2006), have also had a strong influence on her current work. She was an active student member, and now takes a place on the USSEE board. She sees the Society becoming increasingly important in 1) targeting aspects of those concepts that are getting lost in (mainstream) translation, 2) engaging with our ideal vision of the Society, that we make more of each gain, and 3) drawing others to our continued success.
