Bridget believes in the power of all people to make a difference in our communities and that strong and vibrant communities don't happen by accident. That's why in 2013, she became the first Executive Director of One Valley Community Foundation, bringing with her over 15 years of experience in the nonprofit and philanthropic sector. The One Valley Community Foundation is a place-based funder that has galvanized more than $18 million for 200+ local nonprofit organizations and regional initiatives. In 2016, Bridget was named a 20 Under 40 recipient, an honor that spotlights southwest Montana’s top young business professionals. In 2017, she was selected to be one of 10 executive directors in the U.S. to participate in the CFLeads Executive Leadership Institute for community foundations. In 2018, she took the stage at TEDxBozeman to speak about how community can be a solution to the loneliness epidemic. In 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2024 she was voted Best Community Advocate by the Bozeman’s Choice Awards. Recently, Bridget was awarded Prospera Business Network’s 2021 Leader of the Year. Bridget has her undergraduate degree from the University of Idaho in public relations and Spanish and her master’s degree in Higher Education from Montana State University. She is a graduate of Leadership Montana’s class of 2019. Bridget is a 21/64 Certified Advisor. It’s a designation that means she has training and experience working with multigenerational families to help them hone their philanthropic giving.
The access: I love that communities throughout Gallatin County are still small enough that you can call a city council member, commissioner or mayor and grab a cup of coffee to discuss community issues and ideas.

Mark is driven by a desire to bring people together to solve complex problems. Having grown up in the Bozeman area and after graduating from Montana State University, he spent 10 years working in politics across multiple states, and has extensive experience in engaging both rural and urban grassroots communities, building politically diverse coalitions, and utilizing the collective impact model to produce outcomes on some of the toughest challenges we face.

In this time, he worked to address the complex challenges and multiple compounding crises that the city faced by breaking down silos, highlighting the need for effective data, improving internal and external communication, and by convening people that didn't always agree to find a common path forward. This experience, coupled with time spent in the private sector at both a sales and marketing firm and at a business development consulting firm, inform Mark's passion for working across boundaries, industries, and ideologies to meet Gallatin County's needs.

Over the last decade she has worked at Bridgercare, Emily has seen the transformative power that an ambitious community foundation can make on the trajectory of a nonprofit - from Give Big to free educational seminars to support with Donor Advised Funds - these aspects have lifted up and launched Bridgercare, Emily, and so many in the local nonprofit ecosystem. She is honored to be able to give back to an organization that has been so fundamental to her own career and the people she serves every day! In her free time, Emily enjoys skiing (Bridger Bowling as well as XC), running, backpacking, biking, going to concerts, and spending time with close friends and family.
