Gayle Krzemien
"Part of our mission includes working with teenage girls so that the paths they choose will not lead to the dependent situations that many of their mothers, friends and female relatives have faced; changing their paths changes the future."
Gayle Krzemien, a mathematics faculty member at Pikes Peak Community College, joined the board in October 2007 and is the past President. She became involved with the organization through her job, by assisting Women’s Resource Agency clients who want to attend PPCC.
WRA has a commitment to women, to help them no matter what their circumstances, and an attitude of ‘You can come as you are, but you cannot stay as you are.’ The goal is to move a woman to a better place for her life. Without our help, many would not have the courage to imagine that their lives could be radically different.
Terrie Cox Pauly
"There are a variety of skills and abilities among team members that make WRA effective, however, the passion for helping women and girls is always central to what we do."
As a licensed clinical social worker, Terrie Cox Pauly has worked with many marginalized and oppressed women. As a WRA board member since October 2008, she’s been able to help empower such women.
"The passion is a constant, and without it, all of the efforts of those involved would not be as meaningful or effective," says Pauly, who is on the faculty of Newman University’s MSW program and an instructor and field coordinator. Without WRA’s services, she says: "Countless women and teenage girls in our community would not receive the gift of achieving their full potential."
Liz Price
"The Women’s Resource Agency is effective because of the staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to meet the demands that women and teen girls in our community face."

As a foster care parent, Liz sees first-hand the economic and social hardships that women face and wants to be part of the solution.
I like that as an organization, we are constantly trying to anticipate future needs in our community and address them proactively. The staff and board are optimistic people.
