Welcome to our new Community Resources Coordinator, Dinah Pollard!
Outside of work, Dinah loves to sing and perform with her acapella/acoustic duo, Alethia Rising, conjure up yummy, healthy food, and create beauty in her home and mini-yard. Yoga, walking, swimming, and dancing (especially ballroom) puts her in her happy place, along with a good rom-com and a glass of New Zealand sauvignon blanc. She is blessed to have a close-knit circle of great friends, and two amazing kids. Her son Taylor is now 34, and Mica (they/them pronouns) is now 16. As much as she loves her kids, though, she is looking forward to being an empty nester! She is also looking forward to building new relationships in the Broomfield Community.
