Ruth has been active at the Board level in non-profit development for the past 50 years. She has played integral role at the People’s Light & Theatre Company, The Montgomery School, The Crossroads School, and Chester Country Futures, organizing each of their Inaugural Benefit nights—many of which continue today. While co-chairing the campaign for The Crossroads School, Ruth played a vital role in raising $1.5 million.

 

Since coming to Montana in 2005, Ruth has served on the Board of the Butte Center for the Performing Arts (BCPA), The Butte Symphony, The Orphan Girl Children’s Theatre (OGCT) and The Jefferson Valley Community Foundation. She organized the Inaugural Mining for the Mother Lode (BCPA), the Inaugural UN-Gala (OGCT) and was instrumental in reorganizing and increasing the profitability of Whitehall’s annual fundraiser, Black Tie/Blue Jeans.
