Dorigen Hofmann

Dorigen manages client portfolios and is also responsible for the firm’s compliance and operations functions. Immediately prior to joining Clean Yield in 2006, Dorigen was an assistant attorney general for the state of Washington. At the attorney general’s office, she worked on litigation and client advice regarding natural resource management, land use, and public records. She has also spent time in Beijing working on land development issues and has worked for a variety of U.S.-based environmental nonprofits and government agencies.

Dorigen’s investment interests vary widely, but she particularly enjoys helping clients feel more knowledgeable and comfortable with their investment portfolios. She works hard to make sure that clients’ values are incorporated into their accounts and that they feel heard during every interaction.

Dorigen has more than 30 years of experience with Clean Yield, although many of these were as a volunteer. The daughter of co-founder Rian Fried, her first job, at age seven, was licking stamps and sealing envelopes for the Clean Yield newsletter.

Dorigen holds a J.D. from the University of Washington and a B.A. from Washington University in St. Louis. She lives in Maryland with her husband, Jon, and their two daughters. She can frequently be found running, hiking, visiting D.C.’s museums, cooking, and playing tag with her kids.
