California State Board Members
Laure Wilson
State Board Member I joined Sacramento Valley Chapter of New Paths in 1999. At the conferences, I gained program knowledge, public speaking skills, planning skills, met many awesome professionals and most important; learned self-care skills that are so necessary in this people servicing profession. I have served on the local chapter board (Sacramento Valley Chapter) and recently joined the State Board of New Paths. It is rewarding to know that even though you can't change the whole world, you can make a difference in the world of some. After all, the people who do what it takes to make other's lives better are the true heroes and therefore my kind of People!
