Staff & Board

Sabrina Lane was raised in the mountains of Colorado and moved to Cheyenne, Wyoming in 1997. Sabrina Lane began her nonprofit career with the LCCC Foundation in 2000, and has since worked in the nonprofit industry over 16 years, gaining experience in program development, outreach, operational and financial management. Sabrina currently serves on the board of the Wyoming Nonprofit Network, Wyoming VOAD and Wyoming Homeless Collaborative. As the Executive Director of Wyoming 211, Sabrina is passionate about collaboration, innovation, and working with people and communities, especially connecting those in need to those who can help.

Sabrina enjoys all the outdoor opportunities that Wyoming has to offer including camping, hiking, kayaking, and skiing. Most important to Sabrina is loving and supporting her two beautiful daughters, Carissa and Hanna.

“I love 211 because we play a critical role in strengthening our communities across the State. We are a gateway to resources — a connector of services. And, I love my working with my staff – they all have so much passion for what they do at 211!”

“Growing up in a home which provided foster care for 13 babies (not all at once!) until placed for adoption, I learned the life changing effects a non-profit agency can offer people in need.  Now, as a wife and mother of three, I strive to model a heart of service for my own family to follow.

My work as Director of Development and Marketing for Wyoming 211 gives me the chance to advance the cause of an agency which has servanthood as the touchstone of its existence.  But an agency that provides assistance to people navigating various life challenges needs funding to continue and increase the services it offers.  My volunteer work with various non-profit groups has given me the needed fundraising and development experience to further the mission of Wyoming 211.

Also, an agency with so much to offer must be widely visible. Our marketing program will seek to make sure that all Wyoming residents will know of the services Wyoming 211 provides.  There is a lot on my plate for sure, and I am eager to get to work!”

“I have always enjoyed the medical field and helping individuals. I moved to Wyoming in 2008 from New Hampshire. I am a mother to three amazing women, married to my husband Tim and he and I enjoy our 5 grandchildren. I enjoy camping, travelling to new destinations, history, reading and my pug Mattie!

My work means a lot to me. When I started working for Wyoming 211 the resources were limited. Having been a call specialist for many years taught me one thing, that we needed more. Now as a database curator, I have been granted the opportunity to gather more resources for anyone that calls into our call center looking for help. It’s gratifying knowing we can help someone when they call.”

I am the oldest of 4 sisters and a proud mother to my only daughter Yazmin. I was born in Nebraska, but I have lived here in Cheyenne since I was 3 years old. I absolutely love my family, reading, baking and anything food. I want to be remembered as kind and welcoming so I will always go above and beyond for anyone in need. Wyoming 211 is growing, and it is truly rewarding to see how many people it has helped and will continue helping as we grow.
