Jeremy Thompson
ORTWS Vice President-elect (2024 – 2025)

Current Position: Energy Program Coordinator with ODFW

Biographical Sketch: I have worked for ODFW for the last 25 years, starting my career working on multiple wildlife areas around the state, and then moving to the district office in The Dalles where I served as an assistant and the district wildlife biologist. I recently took on the challenge of representing fish, wildlife and habitat interests in the rapidly evolving world of renewable energy development; recognizing that there is a need to tackle climate change, but I believe we can do so while still providing protections for natural resources that are important to Oregonians. When not at work, my time is spent with my family- whether chasing kids in the gym, in the woods or in a boat.
