Welcome to WOGA!

Chris Prah

Technical Lunch Coordinator

Who knew back in the early 1990s, “living in a van down by the river” might turn out to be true for Chris one day! #RVlife for the last few years has allowed Chris and her wife and their happy-go-puppy, Houston rescue dog named Juniper the ability to work, network, and play wherever opportunities arise. As a biologist turned business co-founder, Chris fills her days and time with outdoor adventures and business/leadership conversations. This all makes for a spontaneous life that allows Chris to see and experience different landscapes, cultures, and communities, from the Gulf Coast to the Midwest, from the western mountains to the Great Plains. Along the way she can’t help but pick up petrified wood, cool rocks, and maybe even an animal skull if she is lucky! These treasures serve as memories of places encountered and life lived! Got RV life or entrepreneurship questions for Chris? Ask away!

Jamie Dandar McKinney

When Jamie is not sharing tools to empower women in leadership, she loves
spending time outside. Originally an Ohioan, she considers the mountains to
be an “outdoor playground for big kids.” You may also find her at local
restaurants as she pursues her quest to find the perfect Brussels sprout.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a source of continued source
of inspiration to Jamie and ‘Progress Over Perfection’ is one of her
guiding mantras.

Kat Mann

Lean In Director

Kat Mann grew up in Rock Island, IL and moved to the Denver area by way of Casper, WY.  Kat has been a passionate member of the Rockies Oil & Gas community for over twenty-five years.  Depending on the time of year, you’re most likely to find her on a road bike, mountain bike, snowshoes, cross county skis, golf course or a hiking trail.  Any of these may be followed by a stop for local live music and a tasty craft beverage.
