Our Speakers:
Dominique Morel, Director, Retail operations - REI Co-Op 
I am a Colorado native who traveled frequently in my youth as the daughter of an Army nurse. I studied at the University of Colorado (Go Buffs!) and was working to clarify my life direction when an unexpected opportunity to work as an opening employee at a “New Store” in Colorado Springs. Little did I know REI would become a career path with numerous challenges, learnings, and rewards along the way. I worked in the field in numerous locations and roles for +12 years, and have been at Co-Op HQ for 8 years in Retail Operations.
Currently living in Seattle, WA with my wife Antoinette, 3 year old daughter Sasha, and our newest addition, 4 month old puppy Harper, I enjoy chasing my daughter on her balance bike, hiking and paddling, and enjoy photography in my free time.
