Kristin Decker

Kristin moved to Colorado from Chicago in the late 90s and has spent the years since exploring as many trails as possible across the state, with a special love for Summit County. She is a director at Otten Johnson Robinson Neff + Ragonetti PC and has been practicing land use law for 28 years, including many years representing governmental entities and advising councils and boards. One of the most rewarding aspects from her time at the Douglas County Attorney’s Office was negotiating conservation easements to protect thousands of acres of open space in perpetuity. Outside of work, Kristin enjoys skiing, hiking, traveling, cycling, and long walks with her dog, especially around Washington Park. She looks forward to engaging with the VOC community and helping advance outdoor stewardship across Colorado.
