Our Team.

As President of Mt. Lookout Grange, Jordan is the driving force behind bringing the organization’s vision to life. A long-time member of the Mancos community, Jordan plays a pivotal role in shaping the Grange’s events, fostering involvement, and ensuring its mission remains vibrant and impactful. Her leadership and dedication inspire both the board and the community to work together in creating a stronger, more connected Mancos.

For Jordan, the Grange is deeply personal. “The Grange stands as a pillar in my life, offering steadfast support to our small town of Mancos. The unwavering commitment to inclusivity and fostering relationships within our community continues to driive my dedication to the Grange, guiding me through over a decade of service on the board.”

Evan Richards serves as the groundskeeper of Mt. Lookout Grange, dedicating his time and effort to making the Grange a welcoming and well-maintained space for the Mancos community. 

When not tending to the Grange, Evan is often handcrafting human habitats, a skill that reflects his passion for creating functional and beautiful spaces. He also thrives in the great outdoors, exploring the mountains, canyons, and rivers, or nurturing his garden at home.

Evan appreciates the Grange’s role as an inclusive and supportive space for a broad demographic of the Mancos community. His dedication to community building and his love for the area’s natural beauty make him a cherished member of the Grange family.

Kathryn is one of the visionary founders of Mt. Lookout Grange and remains the unofficial heart and soul of the nonprofit.

Her dedication to the Grange and its mission is evident in the countless hours she spends volunteering, planning, and nurturing its growth.

"I love the Grange because it provides our community with wonderful meals and wonderful events plus a place to hold events and it is a beautiful, in town, easy to access spot for people (and dogs) of all ages.  It is also very affordable and the community dinners are free and relaxed and people really can get to know each other. Our Board is highly energized and dedicated and always open to new ideas and activities.  The Grange is unique and a huge resource for the Mancos community."
