The Outdoor Lab Foundation is excited to announce the naming of a new Deputy Executive Director, Paige Brophy!
After seven years of amazing service to the organization, Shannon Hancock, former Executive Director of the Outdoor Lab Foundation, has moved on to a new grand adventure. Last week, Paige Brophy was named the new Deputy Executive Director of the Foundation.
Paige is a product of Jefferson County schools, attending Outdoor Lab as a sixth-grade student with Prospect Valley Elementary, graduating from Wheat Ridge High School, and completing a degree in Journalism and Media Communication at Colorado State University.
Paige has worked at the Foundation for almost two years and truly understands the phrase of “do what you love, and you will never work another day in your life.” Paige, formally the Marketing and Development Manager, has a passion for impacting this program. Paige chaired the committee responsible for creating the Youth Advisory Board, worked alongside Shannon in the creation of the Outdoor Lab Legacy Society and found new innovative ways to allow everyone to have their impact on Outdoor Lab, like the $5 Club.
Paige is truly honored and humbled as she takes on this role. She can’t wait to continue to impact Outdoor Lab, the program that changed her life forever.
Want to get to know Paige? Call or email her today! You can reach her at paige.brophy@outdoorlabfoundation.org or call 720-403-8241.
