Staff & Board

Ann Clement has worked in the healthcare sector for nearly a decade, focusing primarily on maximizing opportunities where organizations can support each other. In 2017, she formed the Partnership for a Healthy Wyoming to identify gaps in resources, and connect residents and agencies to the medical services needed.  Since moving to Cheyenne in 2020, she has served first as the Public Policy and Advocacy Manager, followed by the Program Director for the Wyoming Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. In this role, she spent extensive time throughout Wyoming listening to the needs of each community and expanding resources to those providing care to or living with dementia.

“My work throughout the state provided an incredible opportunity to build relationships in many areas, understanding that each of our Wyoming communities differ. I am excited to continue building community reach through the amazing programs Wyoming 211 has to offer and provide leadership for this remarkably talented staff.”

“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 Deputy Director 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!”

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.”
