Treasurer,
Jody Rohrl
Jody and his wife Sylvia live on 2.5 acres outside
Olympia and have been llama “pet owners” and members of LOWS since 1994. The
herd consists of two middle-aged geldings named Johnny and Macky, who live a
very spoiled life as pasture poodles. Jody and Sylvia came to Washington State
due to military assignments at Fort Lewis and are among the many of outsiders
who have refused to leave 20 some years later. Jody is originally from Atlanta
(Go Braves!) and Sylvia from Venice, Italy and various locations in Europe.
Jody has been on the Board since an emergency appointment in 1999, and is
primarily responsible for the financial reporting for the organization. He has
been actively involved in supporting and leading numerous LOWS events over the
years, including walkabouts, herd health days, play days, parades, farm
meetings, rescue, farm clean-up and five ALSA-sanctioned Northwest Classic
shows. He also served as the interim president in 2006.
Professionally Jody is a Consultative Specialty Administrator for Group Health
(where everyone has become reluctant South American camelid experts) and on the
faculty of City University. His other interests include skiing, swimming, sports
of all kind, yard work, gardening, music, playing guitar, and reading quirky
novels.
