Welcome our new Office Administrator, Shanna Shepherd!

Welcome our new Office Administrator, Shanna Shepherd!

Join us in welcoming our Alliance’s new Office Administrator, Shanna Shepherd!

Shanna will be working closely with Executive Director Emily Hornback and Finance Administrator Alicia Lucero in keeping the Alliance office and business matters in professional shape.

Shanna Shepherd was born and raised on the Western Slope. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Communications from Colorado State University and a master’s degree in Public Affairs from Missouri State University.

Shanna’s professional background encompasses both non-profit work and volunteerism, alongside several years of administrative experience.

During her free time, she indulges her love for animals by fostering kittens and takes care of her personal furry family, consisting of four cats and one dog.

Among Shanna’s first assignments was ordering our Alliance’s new telephone system. You can expect a big improvement as that gets rolled out over the next couple months.

Shanna brings a number of skills beyond the traditional office administrator set. We’re thrilled to have her join our team and know her knowledge will help make our efforts on behalf of healthy, just, and self-reliant Western Colorado communities run more smoothly.
