Now serving as Chief Executive Officer, Alle brings both passion and purpose to her role, leading an amazing team that’s laser-focused on eliminating racism and empowering women. She’s all-in when it comes to expanding YWCA’s reach—whether it’s launching an emergency shelter for women and children or securing a $2 million property to provide safe, stable housing for those experiencing instability. Her approach? Tackle big issues like homelessness, poverty, and inequality head-on, with a lens that’s as holistic as it is hopeful.

Since 2011, Bellingham has been Alle’s beloved home base. She and her husband are raising two spirited kiddos who keep her on her toes and constantly remind her why the work matters. When she’s not in mission-mode, Alle fully embraces the joyful chaos of parenthood- whether she’s volunteering in the classroom, baking for the next event, or cheering from the sidelines. In her rare moments of downtime, you’ll find Alle soaking up time with her family, on the volleyball court, or enjoying the nearest body of water—her true happy place.
