Leadership & Staff
Building a community of hope
The TLC Family
Tri-Lakes Cares is led by a dedicated Board of Directors and supported by a compassionate team of staff who bring our mission to life every day. Their guidance, skills, and heart keep our programs strong and ensure that neighbors across northern El Paso County have access to the food, housing, and essential resources they need.
Our leadership represents a cross-section of community members, business professionals, and volunteers who share a deep commitment to service. Together, they uphold our values of integrity, transparency, and compassion — guiding Tri-Lakes Cares as we continue to meet the growing needs of families in Monument, Palmer Lake, and surrounding areas.
Executive Committee, Board & Staff
The Executive Committee, Board, and Staff work hand-in-hand to create a positive impact. From volunteer board members to staff serving directly with families, each person plays an essential role in helping our community thrive.
