- Dottie Fox
- Dottie Fox served as trustee of the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies. She was a center of gravity for Aspen's environmental movement and a political and policy organizer. No doubt Aspen's well-earned reputation as an environmental bastion is due in no small part to Dottie and her passion lives on through the organizations and people she touched. "She spent her life sharing her vision of wilderness—through watercolor and poetry and writing—with the world," said Sloan Shoemaker, director of the Wilderness Workshop Fox was a passionate outdoorswoman who loved wild places, from the mountains around Aspen to the Utah desert and the Grand Canyon, a place she wrote about in her 2000 book Below the Rim. “She figured out ways to have fun doing important things,” said Cynthia Wayburn, who was on theACES board with Fox, and described her as a mentor and inspiration. “She had a tremendous joie de vivre, more than almost anyone I know.” After Fox retired, members of the board pushed to make sure there was always someone with such a strong, passionate environmental voice. “We realized we couldn’t replace Dottie, so we decided all trustees needed to pass the Dottie Fox test,” said Tom Cardamone, director of the center. “Today, all 21 trustees do their best to fill her shoes.” In addition to helping found the Wilderness Workshop, Fox was a founder of Great Old Broads for Wilderness, a national group of senior citizen women wilderness advocates, and was a board member of the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance.--Aspen Hall of Fame bio
