Treasurer

She was born and raised in Colorado with a great love of the mountains and its fresh air. Currently she is splitting her time between Lakewood, Colorado and Pleasanton, California.

Her goal is to visit all the Jefferson County Open Park and Recreation areas in the next 12 months. She is following in her father’s footsteps as the Foundation’s Treasurer.

At Large

Brittany Schoborg

Brittany grew up in the Columbine Valley of Jefferson County. Some of her first hikes were on Jeffco Open Space lands, where she now spends weekends introducing her two young kids to the outdoors. She has a background in land rights and business and studied Professional Land and Resource Management and Environmental Studies at Western Colorado University. She holds an MBA from the University of Montana. Brittany’s passion for the environment and her goal to have a strong sense of place in beautiful Jefferson County has led her to helping others create connections to its outdoor spaces. She previously served on the City of Littleton Museum Board and works professionally at Xcel Energy as a Project Manager. Brittany is a birder, cross-country skier, snowboarder, and avid reader, and is stoked to help further the goals of JCOSF and see land preserved and enjoyed for future generations.
