BETH SLIFER
A 25-year career of looking out for and promoting the best interests of the Vail Valley, Beth Slifer, is one of the Vail Valley’s foremost business and marketing leaders. A graduate of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and with an MBA from the University of Chicago, Beth is originally from Jacksonville, FL, having arrived in the Vail Valley in 1983 after marrying former Vail Associates’ ski instructor Rod Slifer. A year later, she opened the doors to her own interior design firm and served as the Creative Director and CEO of Slifer Designs until choosing to semi-retire this year.
She brought a diverse career with her to the valley, including experiences in teaching, banking, retail, marketing, and politics, working on Jimmy Carter’s campaign, as well as working as the Special Assistant to Administrator of the EPA.
In addition to her work with Slifer Designs, Beth was a founder of the Vail Valley Partnership; is a founding board member of the Roundup River Ranch Camp for severely ill children; is Chair of the Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council; and sits on the University of Chicago Hospital Board and the UC Depression Center Board.
In her extra time Beth volunteers for many non-profit boards that benefit the educational, economic, and cultural goals of the community. “In my volunteer work,” Slifer said, “it’s been my philosophy to help start or to be a part of projects that improve the lifestyle of the community, programs that have long term value. I’m proud of my work with the Vail Symposium and the Vail Valley Institute, as well as other programs to continue to give back to the Vail Valley.”
Beth’s husband, Rod, is a principal of Slifer, Smith and Frampton, and was a Founding Director of The Youth Foundation. They have one daughter, Alexandra, who is presently a student at Vanderbilt.
Beth will dance with Colin Meiring doing the Foxtrot.
