Since beginning my term as Board Treasurer in June of 2014 I have worked with the Board of Directors to establish, implement, and execute the mission and vision of the organization while also creating policies that ensure the organization operates at the highest of ethical standards. The Board of Directors is committed to conducting the business of our organization in a way that is consistent with the values that guide our organization's actions.
More than ten years ago, along with another straight middle-aged woman, I co-founded OUTreach. We started in our church basement with attendance of 5 youth from DaVinci charter school. One of them, Jackson Carter swears that OUTreach saved his life. Jackson has since gone on to be the first openly gay member and finalist on the reality TV show, "World's Biggest Loser. From that tiny beginning, we have become our own non-profit organization and now serve 500+ LGBT youth annually in Ogden, Clearfield, Logan and Brigham City.
