President

“Until we all have a seat at the table, none of us do. Until we are all safe, none of us are. Until we, as a nation, live up to the promise of “liberty and justice for all,” the Y has work to do.”

Vice President

“I am a white, cisgendered woman and I know that affords me a lot of privilege in today’s world. Even though I strive to be an advocate for an inclusive and equitable world for all, I also know I still have a lot to learn to ensure that my allyship is valuable and helps to move progress.”

“I’m excited to support and empower women in our community through economic development and social justice programs.”

Frizzell edit

Amber Frizzell

Secretary

“Expanding our connectedness leads to awareness, then to understanding, then to action. I enjoy spending time with possibility thinkers, I often find myself wishing everyone could see how we’re all connected. Creating positive, engaging, and fun outreach is an important piece in bridging the gap between individuals and spreading an organization’s mission.”

Dakota Orm

Director

“I aim to help create a community where we are removing barriers for women to achieve anything they dream of, and to remove inequities that many experience, especially women of color. I want to be part of a team that lifts our community and makes it a better place to live and thrive for even our most vulnerable.”

“Words are important. Words matter. But we also must do as we say. It's not enough to say that there should be more women, Black, Indigenous and people of color in government. We have to vote for those candidates. Better still, we can campaign for those candidates. We can knock on doors, fundraise, and encourage our friends to vote for them, too. It's not enough to say that we need to hear more Black, Latino, and Indigenous voices. We need to buy the books, listen to the music, show up at the shows. Words matter. Actions bring change.”

Zollner edit

Shauna Zollner

Director

“My goal is to inspire girls to try out more in STEM and to inspire boys to recognize and speak out when gender is portrayed as something that designates an aptitude or appropriateness for activities, aesthetics, academics, or advancement.”

Director

“In a world that strives to destroy or glaze over what make us different, I want to be a part of the work that recognizes every person deserves to be heard, empowered and uplifted as they are. Our power lies in what makes us each our own individuals. That diversity of thought and perspective is what changes and improves our world for the better. The YWCA work is critical to ensure there is space and grace for all."

"I aim to empower women and foster diversity and inclusion. I will leverage my skills and experiences to create initiatives that break barriers and promote equitable opportunities. I aim to amplify the voices of underrepresented women in all spheres of influence. I want to be able to find ways to help women’s  voices heard."
