Elin Miller

I’ve led a life and career dedicated to agriculture, and I see the needs of land-based economies. I’ve held many roles during the course of my careers such as senior agricultural and management executive, global vice president of public affairs for Dow Chemical, vice president of Asia Pacific for Dow AgroSciences and CEO of Arvesta, an agricultural spin-off of Chevron. I hold more than 30 years of leadership experience in corporate, government, and nonprofit sectors. Currently, I serve in leadership positions on a variety of for profit and not for profit boards while also working as a hazelnut farmer at my home in Umpqua, OR. Most notably, I served as Regional Administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency, a Presidential Appointment, with jurisdiction over Alaska, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon leading over 600 employees, dealing with some of the most challenging water quality issues nationally, and co-chairing EPA’s Climate Change Policy Committee.My specialties include management of complex government and private-sector organizations, government affairs, board governance and leadership, mergers and acquisitions, litigation, union negotiations, issues management, fundraising, media relations, employee communications, strategic planning, branding, and non-profit management.Feel free to reach me at [email protected]
