Courtney Hamilton

Councilor
Born and raised in the Wood River Valley, I have always embraced the strong community of Ketchum and the quality of life that we are so lucky to have here. I come to City Council with a bachelor’s degree in Public Policy Analysis from Pomona College and a fresh perspective with a keen eye on the long-term future. I am energized by the opportunity to create a livable, workable Ketchum of the future and to galvanize Ketchum’s next generation of leaders to participate in building that future.

Having grown up in the valley and seen it through the eyes of a kid here attending local schools, racing for local ski teams and appreciating the great outdoors, I bring a unique understanding of our town to the council.

Now, as a true Ketchum twenty-something, I wear many hats in my day-to-day life and look forward to utilizing those on City Council. Currently I do event logistics for the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference, home energy auditing for John Reuter Greenworks, lead outdoor trips for Community School and consult for local small businesses. I am also fluent in Spanish.

I look at problem solving with a focus on efficiency, positivity, open communication and teamwork, and I am happy to be putting those passions to work for the City of Ketchum. My leadership method involves more listening and less talking, so if you want to share ideas for Ketchum’s future, I'm all ears!
