Open Now: Women's Leadership Summit

Allie Stender

With 20 years of experience advocating for women, children and families through public health interventions, and 17 years of experience working in the public sector, Allie values the role that local government plays in providing for and protecting its constituents. Most recently, she focuses on workforce and organizational development for the Coconino County Public Works department where her public health lens brings an appreciation for the role that infrastructure plays in connecting communities, promoting health, and inspiring vitality. Allie connects with her community through regular volunteer gigs with small non-profits, weekly dates with her gaggle of friends, and endless adventuring with her family. Time spent outdoors pedaling her bike, rowing her raft, or trekking in her boots feeds her souls and deepens her connection to the beautiful complexities of northern Arizona and the American west. This rooted sense place is paramount to nurturing her love--for her family, her work and her community. She really is living the good life. Allie holds a Bachelor of Arts in History from Gonzaga University. After earning a graduate certificate in Maternal and Child Health Leadership from University of Arizona, Allie achieved a Masters of Public Administration from Northern Arizona University. She currently works with Coconino County as a Program Manager III and is an instructor with Northern Arizona University College of Health and Human Services, Department of Health Sciences.
