Board of Directors

After growing up in the greater Portland/Vancouver area Catherine was first introduced to the L’Arche Spokane community as a college volunteer. This encounter left a lasting impression and following grad school at WSU (Go Cougs!) Catherine felt called to return to L’Arche as a live-in assistant in Spokane. She has since enjoyed being active in the community in whatever way possible, most recently by joining the Board. Catherine currently works as a home health Dietitian and lives with her husband Shane and their cat in Cheney.

Ann-Marie has been a long-time friend of L’Arche Spokane. She has previous experience as a L’Arche Board Member and in 2022, she was welcomed as the Board Treasurer. Ann-Marie is a Dentist and currently practices at Lakeland Village. Some of her interests include gardening, home improvement and exercise.
