Marianne Allison is the Associate Rector of St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church. With decades of experience in the business sector, Allison brings a uniquely strategic lens to communications, along with a deep understanding of organizational development and innovation management. As an Episcopal priest, she is drawn to the work of restorative justice and healing of relationships both with people and land. This, she says, is at the root of the work she’s called to do.

As a resident of West Linn, Allison spent years driving over the Arch bridge and hours gazing at Willamette Falls, always wishing she could get closer to them. She joined the board of Willamette Falls Trust in 2019, inspired by the vision that all Oregonians — and visitors from far and wide — could enjoy the beauty, community, and natural wonder of the Willamette Falls for themselves.
