Kathy Coops is a retired executive assistant from Boise Cascade and Albertson’s with experience in office management and event planning/fundraising as well. She and her husband Tom moved to Boise 45 years ago where they raised two daughters and are now the proud grandparents of six grandchildren. (They are supposed to keep us young, right?!) While growing up in Ohio Kathy learned the value and love of volunteering and has spent many of her adult years donating her time to various non-profit organizations.

Alexandria Danilovitch is a wife to her amazing husband and a mother of an incredible little boy. She is an entrepreneur in health and fitness, a REALTOR®️ and has proudly been serving the Boise area for almost 16 years. She volunteers with Dress for Success Boise Valley and is also an advocate for Operation Underground Railroad to help fight child sex trafficking. She loves all sports, volleyball being her favorite, and she is also lover of surfing whether it be in the ocean or wake surfing the gorgeous and pristine waters Idaho has to offer!

Rachael Grotsky is a book-loving hermit who has called Boise home for more than twenty years. She writes speculative fiction, keeps an aggressive vegetable garden, and anthropomorphizes almost everything. She is happily married to her childhood sweetheart, and they share their home with a clumsy, middle-aged python named Murray.

David King is a Boise mergers & acquisitions advisor who previously practiced law and worked as a CPA. He even represented Terrell Owens. “Help me help you!” He has served on several environmental boards and commissions and founded a nonprofit news website. He is the proud father of a son and daughter and loves running, all water sports and college football. He is an author and podcaster who coaxed Craig Kilborn to fess up why he left late night TV.

Estee Lafrenz is a licensed Professional Engineer. Her experience has included assisting the city of Omaha, Nebraska to develop their sustainably designed city plan, using smart growth and environmental strategies. She prepared a complete air quality and greenhouse gas emission inventory for each mobile, industrial, and land use source throughout the city, which would minimize environmental impacts and allow future net zero GHG plans. She routinely works with city and county planners and land developers to prepare technical environmental impact reports for land use projects. Estee grew up in the mid-west and has lived in Boise for twenty years. She is also the mother of two amazing teenaged girls and enjoys reading and nature.
