Dinah Devoto

Dinah is a landscape designer and musician. After 15 years of landscape design with a professional company she started her own consulting business right about recession time.  Conveniently, she met Pat Kennedy, they worked out a plan to make music. They launched their  music festival career at  Imago’s Music in the Woods.

Dinah has been actively involved in Eco issues since Earth Day 1990.  She  has served on City Council in Villa Hills, ran for mayor, headed a coalition to preserve the Marydale property inNorthern Kentucky, designed and installed many landscapes with emphasis on creating and respecting natural areas.   Not all endeavors ended the way she’d hoped but all have polished her environmental education. 

She has two beautiful daughters and an Earth Day birthday.

Jill Korach

Committees: Executive Committee, Incoming Board President

Jill works at Miami University’s Project Dragonfly as the Assistant Director of Earth Expeditions, an international Graduate program combining community-based conservation and inquiry-based learning for the benefit of human and ecological communities. She earned a Master’s in Environmental Sciences concentrating in conservation biology. Jill also worked for an active travel company where she had the opportunity to celebrate nature with families leading trips exploring coastal Maine and the Grand Canyon.

Jill’s interests lie in conservation -- showcasing the simple interconnectedness of people and our natural surroundings as a way to re-connect us to our environment. Jill accredits her love of the natural world to getting a chance to climb trees as a child. Imago is the perfect place to welcome us all into the conversation and celebration of our natural world.
