Alice Buckley

Alice Buckley, Fellow, leads Sightline’s efforts in the eastern Cascadian state of Montana, supports local initiatives for abundant housing and stronger democracy in Big Sky Country. Her career has focused on rural economic development and food: among other roles, for example, she managed a grass-fed beef company. Immediately before joining Sightline, she facilitated the development of innovative communities of business leaders. Passionate about community health and changing public policy to create more livable, just, healthy, and sustainable communities, Alice serves in Montana’s state legislature representing more than 10,000 neighbors in her home district in Bozeman, where she lives with her husband and her shelter dog Wanda. She graduated from Yale University with a degree in Environmental Studies before getting back out to the Rockies as soon as possible. She spends her non-work hours running and backpacking in the mountains, fishing and floating the rivers, and writing. Email alice@sightline.org
