Bob Houghteling, Treasurer

Bob is a retired teacher, school administrator, and founding executive director of the Bay Area Teacher Training Institute. At one of Bob’s first teaching jobs, he met CLAM Founding Board Member Carl Munger and Carl’s daughter, CLAM Fundraising & Communications Committee member Kerry Livingston, and learned of their commitment to the West Marin community.

Bob and his wife fell in love with the Point Reyes National Seashore when they moved to the Bay Area from the East Coast in the late ‘70s and, in 2013, the two realized a long-held dream of purchasing a home on the Inverness Ridge.

As Bob grew closer to new friends in the community, he realized that escalating housing costs were making it impossible for many, including local workers, to live in West Marin. Now beginning his second year as CLAM treasurer, Bob is pleased that his financial and board experience have helped further CLAM values of transparency and sustainability.
