Laura Thompson is President of Central Oregon Center for the Arts. After a career as a hospital department director, Laura branched out from hospitals to become founder/president of a leading Southern California event production company specializing in fundraising and development for nonprofit organizations. She is a former president of the board of directors of the Pasadena (Calif.) Museum of History and served on the boards of the American Red Cross, YWCA and Rotary Club of Los Angeles. Laura has a long history as an impresario, selecting and hiring top-line musicians and actors for a wide variety of performances at fund-raising events, golf tournaments, organization anniversaries and more. She is a versatile visual artist who creates in a variety of media and styles. When she doesn’t have her paints or sketching materials with her, she has her camera.
Craig Walker moved to Bend eight years ago. He recently retired from a company he founded 45 years ago, FlashAlert Newswire. He plans to volunteer with non-profits that need help with their communications.
Carol-Ann Nelson founded Destination Rehab as a 501(c)3 in 2016 because she saw the need to help adults with neurologic conditions get back into the community and enjoying nature again. She received her Doctor of Physical Therapy from Duke University before moving to Florida where she worked as a Physical Therapist in a Neuro specialty center. She sees patients with a variety of complex neurologic conditions including spinal cord injury, stroke, Parkinson’s, Guillian Barre, CP and MS. She is former Vice President of APTA Oregon, Advisory Board Member for the OSU-Cascades Doctor of Physical Therapy Program. Carol-Ann grew up in Eugene, moved to Bend in the summer of 2015 and is passionate about combining her love of the outdoors with bringing people to a new level of ability in their daily function.
