​
Laurie spent the majority of her career in the for-profit sector, leaving the workforce in 2000 to become a stay at home mother. During this time, she began volunteering on the Board of Directors of family cooperatives, parent teacher organizations, and other organizations that exposed her to the non-profit world. Laurie reentered the workforce in 2007, seeking employment that would allow her to use her skills to help an under served population. In 2010, she accepted an employment opportunity at neba and has fully aligned with our mission and wholly immersed herself within it. Laurie remains committed to volunteerism and community involvement as well. She currently serves as Chair on her Towns Finance Committee.
