Without knowing any more about her, I make these observations.
- She’s another woman wanting to be a man. Look at the photo.
- She worked in the oil industry before becoming CEO of REI which has a cult environmentalist following.
- I see more land grabs coming as a result of her environmental coming out after working in oil.
REI is a good place to buy gee-whiz hiking and camping equipment, but it is run and frequented by touchy-feely, hippy types that believe that the outdoors is to be hiked (or paddled) through and looked at but not touched. It's all very pricey and catering to the upper middle class (they're known around here as Really Expensive Items).
I think of them as the opposite of Cabela's and Bass Pro, which are geared more towards the average shopper and acknowledge the existence of hunting and fishing and that not everybody can be a "low impact camper".
I shop at both REI and Bass Pro, but my sympathies are entirely with the Bass Pro Nation.
Worked for REI in 1990, hated it.
At least this official has signed paychecks on the front.
Interesting choice. Comments on her looks seem way out of line. She is married with children.
Her political connections and views are another issue. She apparently served on some boards with George Mitchell, Madeline Albrecht and Colin Powell. What makes me nervous is her views on how to educate more qualified folks:
“One possibility is to charge higher tuition in fields like engineering where you have high potential for earnings and it costs more to educate you.”
This makes little economic sense and is likely to increase the numbers of folks who can do nothing but look for the government to provide them jobs.

REI in Reno gave away camping equipment to the %99 percenter bumbs.
Her “qualifications” make no matter.
She was picked by obama.
Birds of a feather working here.
Look at all the other human vermin that obama has picked and show me one that does not hate this country and it’s people.
