Board of Directors

Laura Yosemite May 2013

Laura Milstead

Executive Director/CEO

Laura discovered cancer July 2011, which sent her on many journeys, most of them positive. The diagnosis and treatment were rough but what has happened since then has defined Laura and her purpose: lifting up other cancer survivors.

Laura loves to read, garden, anything crafty, anything outdoors, church life, and hanging out with her husband and their pooch. And of course plan events for We’re Conquering Cancer!
