Staff Updates

We want to give a special thank you to our support secialist, Marria Bondarenko, for all of her hard work this past year on our team. She is leaving us and heading to the Rocky Mountains with her husband to start a new chapter. Marria has been consistently flexible and dedicated to our mission at the ACP. Congrats Marria on new beginnings! Everyone will miss you dearly, but we wish you the best!

Please help us welcome our new staff members: Eva Ireland and Taylor Kelley!
 
Eva and Taylor joined us in early April and are very excited to have joined the team. Eva comes to us from New Mexico with a lot of experience in advance care planning and is another part-time guide on the team. Taylor recently graduated from CSU with her Master's in Public Health and will be taking over Mariia's position as support specialist.
