After conducting a nationwide search, we are pleased to announce that Sharon Laney, M.S. has agreed to assume the role of Executive Director with Lake House Academy. Sharon's vast experience, coupled with her love for working with families and young people, has been evident throughout her career. Most recently, she directed operations at Trails, Carolina. Previously, she was the Chief Operating Officer of Three Springs, a company with programs in 11 states serving youth in wilderness, residential, therapeutic boarding and transitional settings. In addition to her operational involvement in a wide array of programs, Sharon has also demonstrated effective leadership on a national level as the President of the National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs (NATSAP), a role which has benefitted programs throughout the country. Throughout all of her work experiences, Sharon has always kept her love for helping families and a firm advocacy for ethical, effective treatment strategies as priorities in her work. Sharon states that she is "excited and honored" to take on the director role at Lake House and she "can't wait" to get started.

Sharon will be winding down her responsibilities at Trails over the next two weeks, and will be on our campus for all or part of most days beginning this afternoon. She will assume her full time role on September 20th. She plans to meet with each member of the Lake House team in the next three days.

If you have any questions please feel free to call Lake House Academy or reach out to Kimball and Sharon directly. Thank you all for your support. We are looking forward to a bright future at Lake House Academy with the addition of Sharon's talents and experience to our team and the continued support from Kimball and InnerChange.
