Beth Laster

I joined the ATHA Board to further promote the organization through the website and digital communications. I was originally hired to update and manage the website, but there was an immediate connection with Dannielle, the horses, and ATHA’s mission that I knew I wanted to be a part of this amazing organization as a volunteer.  

​​

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, being creative and learning new things. Basically, I’m a nerd and quite proud of it!

​​

I am inspired by people who overcome adversity while maintaining optimism. And I’m energized by conversations with deep thinkers who have an open mind and no hidden agenda.

​​

My superpower is my sense of humor. I never set out to make people laugh but it seems to just happen! In fact, several of my friends who were scheduled for surgery gave strict orders that I was not allowed to visit them until their stitches were healed!

​​

I can’t live without laughter, my loved ones and my silly rescue dog, Maggie! Oh, and books…I can’t live without books!

​

​My credentials are: 

• Entrepreneur since 1983.

• Currently own and operate two businesses – one with my husband and one on my own.

• Served on the board of a public education foundation for seven years.

“Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.” 

This powerful quote by Helen Keller means so much to me. Without the dedicated and passionate volunteers who give so generously and freely of their time and resources, the success of this organization would not be possible.
