OceanEXP

Raelene Bergen Harder at Origin, supported the OceanEXP initiative between 2019 and 2021. Raelene was dedicated to our mission to create unique opportunities for people to explore beneath the surface of the oceans, empowering them to leave a legacy of ecological sustainability. Raelene’s involvement began by meeting with our Executive Board and over a period of months undertook an intensive research project culminating in a detailed executive report. 

This report, and her work, were invaluable to our efforts in developing stronger relationships with our stakeholders and better defining our strategic priorities. 

In my capacity as Board President of the OceanEXP Project, I worked closely with  Raelene while she completed this monumental undertaking. Raelene proved herself to be insightful, competent, and qualified. I was particularly impressed by her abilities to develop strong connections with our team and overcome the challenging hurdles often associated with facilitating community engagement.  

Based on my personal working experience with Raelene, I can, without hesitation, attest that she is incredibly well-suited interpersonally to excel in any opportunities involving consultation, assessments, and stakeholder engagement for not-for-profit organizations.
