Jim Miller & Gina McClard
Respect Outside founders Gina McClard, J.D., and Jim Miller recognized the need for employee trainings designed for the kinds of bold and adventurous individuals who make their home in the outdoors industry, and so they endeavored to develop a curriculum based on a philosophy of respect, trust and equity and in the workplace.
Gina McClard has been on a mission to end sexual and gender-based violence for more than three decades. As a lawyer and former law professor, she has used her career to champion for the rights of women and underserved groups as a victim’s advocate, legislative consultant, and legal counsel in the public, private, and non-profit sectors.
Jim Miller is a thirty-year veteran of the outdoor industry including raft guiding for Mountain Travel-Sobek, marketing and retail training initiatives for brands such as Yakima Racks and Werner Paddles, ownership of a multi-unit retail specialty store, and consulting to manufacturers and retailers in the outdoor and action-sports areas. The transformative nature of the outdoors is what first attracted him, and it is these values which he seeks to advance by creating real change in the ways people of different genders relate and interact while at work.
