Our current Board includes:
| Gary Fleener – Santa Rosa, CA I fell in love with the upper Arkansas River Valley and the Sawatch Mountain Range as a young camper at the Adventure Unlimited Ranches, and that love has shaped my life and interests right up to this day. Over the years the inspiration of mountain landscapes has carried me through graduate school, 20 years of field and classroom teaching, more than a dozen educational programs to other mountain regions in Asia and Latin America, and countless personal adventures. If I have learned anything from these experiences it is that learning never stops, and I look forward to continuing the journey with Link School students and staff! |

| Kristin Jamerson – Mercer Island, WA I am happy to live in the great Northwest and take advantage of our lakes and mountains as much as possible! I am often on my bicycle, sporting about town or into the hills, and yes, I do ride in the rain as well. I am a “professional volunteer” with duties at church, in the high school where my daughter attends, and also at the Seattle Art Museum Olympic Sculpture Park where I talk with the public about modern art and environmental stewardship. With my two daughters, I have traveled abroad, gleaning global awareness and appreciation of other perspectives than our own. And, I go to lots of theater with my pop, a retired college professor! |

| Atrelle Jones – Pueblo West, CO I live in Pueblo, Colorado which is ideally located for the adventures my family enjoys. With the Arkansas River close by, we can enjoy time on the river in a raft or duckies. Monarch Ski Area is within two hours of our home. The location has allowed us to ski with our son T.J., who has been a student at Link for the past three years. I am a native New Mexican so I also appreciate that I am only a four hour drive from Santa Fe where most of my family resides. I graduated from the University of New Mexico Law School in 1993. I have been Deputy District Attorney for my entire career in law, practicing in various jurisdictions in Colorado and in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I have served on the Colorado Fatality Prevention Team for the last several years. I also serve as a board member of the Child Advocacy Center in Pueblo. The Link School has been a wonderful experience for T.J. and I am enthusiastic about serving Link as a board member. |
