VOC regularly highlights different VOC leaders, in all capacities, so that we can share with you the inspiring work they do to care for Colorado's outdoors! Here, we'd like to recognize long-time Crew Leader, Terry Gimbel.

Terry is a retired Colorado State Parks Ranger who lives in Walden, Colo., just 20 miles from the Wyoming border. She was introduced to VOC while working at Roxborough State Park in 1987 when VOC had scheduled the Carpenter Peak Trail Project. Because she was responsible for managing the trail system and wanted to learn more about maintaining and constructing trails, she decided then to participate in VOC's crew leader training in 1988 at Castlewood Canyon State Park. From there, she went on to become a VOC Crew Leader, Technical Advisor, member of various committees, OSI Instructor, and helped to develop curricula for several trainings.

Terry is also a regular donor to VOC, giving not only generously of her time, but also her financial resources. She received the Austin Club award in 2014 for her exemplary achievements over the years. 

Now that Terry is semi-retired and working part-time, she enjoys spending more of her time cross-country skiing, hiking, camping, and of course, volunteering. 

Thanks for all you do, Terry!
