Lindsay Davis, Secretary
 Lindsay is a Seattle-area native with 15 years of experience in youth development, most recently at a similar organization to tSB. Now that she’s transitioned to a fundraising role at Treehouse, she couldn’t help but get involved with the tSBoard! She’s become a part of the board’s Events Task Force, so come say hi at one of the awesome tSB events! Other than that, and at work, you can usually find Lindsay in one of three places: in the mountains snowboarding or backpacking, at the dog park, or snuggled up at home watching a movie with her hubbie and two dog-children. |
