Laura Atkinson joined the CACBG team a little over a year ago after she and her family returned to the Lexington area following stops in Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and Nashville. As Office Manager, she is integral to ensuring the office runs smoothly and staff have the materials and support they need to do their jobs well. Laura says she’s proud to work at the Center because “you won’t find a group of people more dedicated to making the world brighter for kids than right here,” and the staff’s commitment to ensuring kids “receive a shining light of resources creating more hopeful days ahead.”
When asked what she does in her free time, Laura says, “Free time? What’s that?” She and her husband have two children and just recently blended their family by taking emergency custody of their two nephews and niece. That means a house with five teenagers! Their days are spent driving carpool, hosting homework sessions, deciphering teenage dialect, and LOTS of soccer! When they get the chance, though, Laura and her family love to travel. They’ve been to Spain and England together, and hope for more fun trips to interesting places in the near future.
