Board of Directors

For as long as I can remember I have wanted to work with and help children.  Initially, I worked as a Speech-Language Pathologist in Albuquerque Public Schools for kindergarten through 5th grade.  After having children I became very involved in PTA and eventually was the President for the New State PTA.  I had many opportunities to observe children in many environments and was fascinated by their attentiveness to what each other was wearing.  It became obvious that how the students dressed was equated in many cases to how they were treated by other children. Thus my interest in students having appropriate clothing for attending school.  I absolutely love being a part of Locker# 505. 

When I was first introduced to Locker #505, I knew it was an extremely unique organization that fulfilled a need in our community that is often overlooked. I agree wholeheartedly with the mission of Locker 505, that when children feel comfortable and confident in their appearance, they are able focus on learning. I am proud to be a part of such a special place, and I am excited to see where the future takes us. 

She has been a board member for three-plus years. Laura Lynne has worked in media for her entire career and has also served on non-profit boards for several decades. Laura Lynne grew up in Albuquerque as an Air Force brat and returned to Albuquerque 5 years ago. She believes the Locker 505 mission is so important now more than ever. Our community is still recovering from economic hardships. Children deserve to feel proud about their appearance and Locker 505 helps to make that a reality.

After working with Kim and Locker 505 for a Christmas fundraiser and learning about their mission I wanted to be a part of it. It's a great way to give back to the kids in our community.

I am excited to be a part of the Locker 505 team! It is refreshing to work with a group of people that are so passionate about the mission of making sure kids have clothes they feel good in to go to school.  It is exciting to help kids feeling good about themselves and have the confidence to go to school in something they feel good in!

I have been on the Locker 505 Board since day one. I believe in its mission to clothe all children in Bernalillo County.  I know that students who come to school wearing clothing that fits and makes them feel comfortable makes for a student ready to learn. Locker 505 makes a positive difference everyday for so many children. I am proud to be a part of Locker 505 Student Clothing Bank.
