Launa Aspeslet
Chair
After many years living and working in Alberta, Launa recently made Nelson her full-time home and wanted to find a way to give back to the community. Launa is a big believer in equality: she mentors young women in STEM and is a strong ally to the queer community. She was drawn to the Women’s Centre because it puts those values into practice every day, meeting people where they are with kindness and without judgement. Launa brings many years of governance experience, both as a CEO working alongside boards and as a board chair herself, and sees her role as supporting the staff and volunteers who do the real work of the Centre. Outside of board meetings, you’ll find her in her garden or on her couch with her rescued animals. She feels very fortunate to call Nelson home and to be part of such a caring, connected community.
