Judi is a retired physician assistant and infectious disease epidemiologist. She loves to be outdoors, growing her own food and has been a member of the Ridgway Community Garden for 9 years. She serves as the garden treasurer, being responsible for book keeping and financial records.
Chris Lance - Vice President
Chris helped to develop the downtown RCG in 2009 and continues to find her home away from home at the new Green Street Garden. In Ridgway, she found a close-knit group of other passionate gardeners and cooks with which to grow delicious healthy veggies. Since she hangs out at the garden all the time anyway, she has become the membership coordinator.  Chris loves connecting the gardeners of the RCG to the soil, to one another and to the community! Chris is nested in the eastern valley of Cow Creek with a lifelong partner and a fuzzy dog who rules the roost.

His professional training is in environmental design and architecture.  He and his family moved to Ridgway a little more than a year ago and the first thing he noticed in his new neighborhood was the RCG. He joined and was struck by the incredible people he met at RCG. He brings new energy and enthusiasm to the RCG Board.
