Spencer Bradford - Board Chair
Spencer Bradford was born in the Salem, Massachusetts hospital around the time of the Watergate scandal. He grew up in a magical era of mostly unsupervised fun, often on and around the waters of New England piloting sail and power boats.
After being introduced to rock climbing and music, he spent as much time in the mountains and attending concerts as possible. Big mountains, rivers, and activism drew his dumb young self west to Olympia, Washington. The colder, less rainy climate and taciturn character of old Montana clicked with him, and he landed in Missoula full-time in 1994.
Over the years, he’s had jobs as varied as television producer/director, early-ish craft brewery brand manager, and a research station lab and facilities manager. He’s also worked as an avalanche educator, artisanal baker, concert organizer/stagehand, brand ambassador, copywriter, EMT, web designer, and presided over a few non-profit boards.
He likes citizen science, snow, the northern lights, clean big water, and great stories. He loves his family, who mostly tolerate and forgive him for some perverse ideas about what constitutes “fun.”
Kathy Witkowsky - Secretary
Kathy considers herself fortunate to have turned a lifelong passion for listening to and telling
stories into a career as an award-winning freelance journalist. Before (mostly) retiring, her
articles appeared widely in national and regional publications, her radio stories aired on
National Public Radio’s All Things Considered and Morning Edition, and two historical television
documentaries she made were broadcast on PBS affiliates nationwide.
Most recently, she completed a short documentary that was selected for screening at film festivals around the country as well as abroad. She is also a devoted Tell Us Something fan and alum; while being in the audience is always fascinating, she says getting on stage to tell her own story was both
unexpectedly terrifying and deeply empowering. She is excited to support Tell Us
Something to ensure that others have the same opportunity to witness and share.
She has served as president of the board of both YWCA Missoula and EmpowerMT, and currently sits on the Steering Committee of the Women’s Giving Circle of Missoula County. She earned a
Bachelors degree in English Literature from Cornell University and an MFA in Creative Writing
from the University of Montana.
