About KAFM Board Governance

In 2001, The KAFM Board of Directors made a strategic decision to institute a dynamic model of board governance called Policy Governance.  This highly acclaimed model allows Board members to focus on long-range planning rather than operational minutia.

It has been overwhelmingly successful in helping to create an organization that is responsive, creative and highly accountable for superior results.

By setting out clearly defined goals and policies for management, the board can focus on mission and strategic agendas.  Management, in turn, is given the authority and flexibility to operate the organization within these pre-established guidelines.  Policy Governance has been instrumental in creating an organization that in just a few short years has become one of the most widely respected and highly effective non-profits in the Grand Valley.

Claudia Ragar

Contact Claudia Ragar

Although a relative newcomer to the Grand Valley, new board member Claudia Ragar has wholeheartedly embraced her new community.  Claudia was born and raised in Wooster, Ohio and earned a BA in Psychology from Miami University.  Determined to leave the cold Midwest, she bought a one-way ticket to Denver and has never looked back.  After dabbling in advertising and freelance writing, she returned to school, earning an MBA from the University of Colorado – Denver.  Since 1998, Claudia has been working in the non-profit sector, as both a volunteer and professional primarily in two areas: education and health.  In Denver, she led a community group in the founding of one of the city’s first charter schools, the Odyssey School.  This challenge led into working as a charter school consultant.  In 2002, Claudia and her husband, John, moved the family to Grand Junction, seeking a smaller village in which to raise their four children.  She is currently employed as Grants Manager at Marillac Clinic.  Claudia enjoys skiing, hiking, camping and watching her children try new experiences, engage in authentic learning through village mentors and developing passions.

Angie Salazar

Contact Angie Salazar

Angelina Salazar has been a KAFM board member since 2006. A graduate of the University of Colorado twice, Angelina began her career entrenched in education teaching all levels of students in English and Spanish. Her path led her to teaching international students, which in turn provided her the opportunity to later visit her students in their home countries, intensifying her love for travel. Gaining perspectives from around the world undoubtedly enhanced her career and ability to think beyond the familiar. After moving to Grand Junction in 2000, her experiences led her into the nonprofit sector. From protecting farm and ranchland to running a public television station, Angelina gained extensive experience in marketing, fundraising, special events, public relations and on-going campaigns to raise community awareness and support. She currently works as "Chief Evangelist" for Ryan, Whitney & Co, a full service advertising agency in downtown Grand Junction.

Jen Rieke Taylor – Vice President

Contact Jen Rieke Taylor

Jen Rieke Taylor moved from nearby Telluride to Grand Junction in 1992 (or was it '93?) in search of a small town that exuded character and community.  It took a full year before she realized Grand Junction was that very place.  Fifteen years later, she is a business owner (Mountain Sprouts), mom of three, avid mountain biker, trail runner, telemark skier, aficionado of vintage motorcycles and Land Cruisers and resident Board Vice President for Grand Valley Public Radio Company.  She is proud to be a civic leader in this community by serving the Grand Valley's non-profit central nervous system, KAFM.
