Blair Maus | Board Member

Blair’s family has roots in agriculture going back to her third great grandfather, William Deering, known for his many farm equipment innovations and being one of the original founders of the family-owned International Harvester Company in 1902.  

True to her family’s agricultural roots, Blair and her husband planted and managed vineyards in Glen Ellen, California, for years, finally leaving the state after no longer being able to tolerate the onerous regulations on farming or owning a small business. They chose to move to Wyoming because the state remains grounded in traditional conservative values.

Blair has a long history of working with nonprofits in many capacities, including being a Board Member of Special Operations Finding Kids, a nonprofit dedicated to finding kids who are missing or to recover them from being sex trafficked. Before becoming a Board Member, she was a volunteer working in aftercare for the families victimized by sex trafficking. 

She is on the National Advisory Board for The Policy Circle, a non-partisan, national grassroots organization that provides a framework to boost civil discourse and empower women to become more vocal in public policy dialogue and civic engagement within their community, their state and their country.

Blair serves as an advisor at Safe Refuge for Children + Families, a nonprofit that works with a network of church partners to keep children safe during times of family crisis and reunite the family as quickly as possible when the crisis is resolved.

She formerly served on the Advisory Board for the Salvation Army’s Santa Rosa Corps, with a mission to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination. They accomplished this mission through helping with family and social services, transitional housing, food pantries, senior programs and emergency disaster services.

Blair is also a Graduate of the Colson Fellows Program, a rigorous Christian worldview training program.

Blair’s mom taught her from a young age to fight for what you believe in, and she believes being part of the Honor Wyoming community is a great way to help protect the state from ever becoming like California.  

Shortly after moving to Jackson in 2020, Blair found an immediate way to help community members preserve the Wyoming way of life as a co-founder and lead advocate for the Save the Historic Jackson Fairground and Rodeo campaign.
