Raine is new to BE, attending their first event in 2023. Raine enjoys the warm and inclusive welcome they’ve experienced at BE events. They quickly developed respect for those coordinating BE. When the call for Board candidates was issued, Raine felt it was a way to give back to and deepen connections within the BE community. Raine has extensive experience with governing boards and councils, particularly in local and state government.

Raine loves the land they are blessed to live on and steward. The unfolding eros that BE has fostered for Raine, has deepened their relationship with the land and the beings and spirits of the place they all call home.
