LouAnn E

LouAnn E.

Office & Facilities Manager

LouAnn has a varied background including travel agent, whitewater raft guide, massage therapist and most important…a mom. A title change to “Chaos Coordinator” has been considered, but we worry she’ll ask for a raise to match the title. Making sure everyone has what they need to be successful, that everything is working perfectly, and offering encouraging words, is what makes her an office and facilities manager extraordinaire. When she is not solving the world’s problems, LouAnn loves to kayak, bike and spend time with her family.

RoseMarie M

Rose Marie M.

Communication & Development Manager

Rose Marie has served in a wide variety of marketing roles over her 25+ year career, which includes 15 years working in NYC’s fast-paced publishing industry. Before coming to ATV full time in early 2022, Rose Marie served as an independent marketing strategist, under the name “My Marketing Girl” for a number of local Northern Colorado clients. It has been extremely rewarding for her to engage with the community sharing ATV’s mission and fostering investment to help those in need in our community.
