Member Spotlight

Tina Ballue

Director of Development

Domestic Violence Solutions

If you joined us at last weeks’ AFPalooza, you were probably happily greeted and photographed by Tina Ballue. During the day, Tina is the Director of Development for Domestic Violence Solutions, which has been serving Santa Barbara County since 1977. When she isn’t working, she finds joy in coaching track and field at San Marcos High School. As a former collegiate athlete, staying involved in sports keeps her connected to my passion. She also enjoys photography, as you’ll see from the excellent shots of the AFPalooza event, and volunteering at other nonprofits such at AFP, where she helped put on an amazing networking opportunity for our members.
