Honorary Board Members
Gil Ordway (1925-2022)
Gilman Ordway has been working to protect wildlife, wild places, and the community character of Jackson Hole for many years. Gil and his wife Marge own and operate the spectacular Fish Creek Ranch in Wilson. Ordway moved to Jackson Hole in 1954 and was one of the first Jackson Hole landowners to donate a conservation easement on his property to The Nature Conservancy to ensure its preservation as open space.
He is a former board member of the Alliance, and has also served on the boards of the Woods Hole Research Center, the Wyoming field office of The Nature Conservancy, the Teton Science Schools, The Wilderness Society, American Farmland Trust, and the World WIldlife Foundation where he currently serves on their National Council. He is interested in environmental education and has endowed several scholarships at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies.
He graduated from Yale University, class of 1947, and received a law degree from the University of Colorado.
Addie Donnan (1924-2019)
Addie, along with her late husband Ted, were supporters of the Alliance since its inception and took turns sitting on the Board of Directors. The Donnans’ immense generosity with their time, efforts and knowledge was invaluable in making the Alliance what it is today. In honor of their service, we have named a key program for the Donnans - The Addie & Ted Donnan Memorial Conservation Program.
Addie played a vital role in organizing major fundraisers for the Alliance, including the Silent Art and Antique Auction and the annual “Addie’s Trunk Show.” She was also the major driving force behind the Alliance’s needlepoint rug project, rallying volunteers to create exquisite rugs, which are then sold to support the work of the Alliance. In addition to her work with the Alliance, she was a volunteer for St. John’s Hospital, Junior League, Red Cross, YWCA, United Appeal, St. John’s Episcopal Church, the League of Woman Voters, Teton Science Schools, the R.E. Lee Memorial Association, and the National Museum of Wildlife Art.
