Susan E. Chamberlin

Elected to the NOLS Board:  June 2004
NOLS Graduate: 1991 - 25 and Over Wind River Wilderness, 1994 - Trip Leader Seminar, 1997 - 25 and Over Winter Ski Course, 2002 - Chesapeake Sail Seminar, and 2002 - 30 and Over Alaska Sea Kayaking, 2007 Outdoor Educator's Mountaineering

Susan began her affair with the outdoors and with NOLS on a Wind River Wilderness course in 1991. She claims, in the corny words of John Denver, “to have come home to a place she’d never been before.” Since then she has taken a Leadership Seminar in the Cascades, a Winter Skiing Course in the Teton Valley, a Sea Kayaking Course on Prince William Sound, a mountaineering course in the Cascades, two alumni trips, a handful of seminars and reunions and has been certified as a wilderness first responder. She strives always to be either on a trip or planning to be on a trip.

Susan is currently located in Chicago, Illinois where she attends the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business. Prior to moving to Chicago, Susan was the Director of Strategic Initiatives for the Property and Environment Research Center (PERC), an environmental economics research organization located in Bozeman, Montana. Before joining PERC, Susan served as Vice President for Government Affairs at the Cato Institute in Washington, DC, a libertarian public policy research organization. Susan is a lawyer by training and has represented an eclectic mix of clients, mostly helping them protect their free speech and property rights. Her favorite role in the legal world was teaching legal reasoning and writing at the Catholic University School of Law.

Susan was elected to the NOLS Board of Trustees in 2004. From June 2006 to June 2007 Susan served as Vice Chair.
