OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 A single phone call changed the trajectory of Emily’s place out of the gates. As soon as Theresa Denham, founder of LBC Technologies heard about Emily’s place, she volunteered to join the board and help incubate it as a nonprofit.

Theresa is also the founder of the Oregon Lyme Disease Network. Not long after starting this nonprofit, she almost quit because of how many women commited suicide before she could find them help. It came as no surprise to her when she learned that the first. guest of Emily's Place, Robin Adams-Hayes, PhD, had already planned to do the same.
