Willamette Riverkeeper is deeply saddened by the unexpected passing of our Executive Director, Bob Sallinger, on Wednesday, October 30, 2024. Bob joined Willamette Riverkeeper in 2023 as our Urban Conservation Director, and his commitment quickly extended across every facet of our organization as he took the helm in June 2024 as our Executive Director. His leadership and vision were instrumental in advancing our mission to protect and restore the Willamette River and its ecosystems.
