Learn more about each of our board members:
Sharon Mason-Boersma, President
Sharon Mason-Boersma, MSSW, is currently retired and worked in the field of social work for over 30 years. Much of her social work experience took place in rural communities in Dane County where she saw firsthand the need for transportation services for many of the clients she served. Sharon has been a board member of Stoughton ATP since implementation began in 2012. She also holds positions on various local boards and committees related to social justice issues. Over the years of being connected with Stoughton ATP, Sharon has seen the positive difference it can make for those in need of transportation to important appointments for services.
Lamarr V. Gibson, Treasurer & Secretary
Lamarr is a founding board member and former volunteer of Stoughton United Ministries, now known as the Stoughton Affordable Transportation Program. Currently serving as both the Treasurer and Secretary for Stoughton ATP, Lamarr records, archives and distributes minutes of annual and monthly board meetings. He also oversees the financial affairs for Stoughton ATP, including keeping financial records, reporting this information to the board, and compiling and reporting statistics on program performance. Lamarr is currently retired after serving churches in Michigan and Wisconsin as an ordained clergy of the United Methodist Church for over thirty years. In addition to his service for Stoughton ATP, Lamarr was also a founding member and past President of the Free Clinic (formerly Shalom Clinic) in Stoughton, a board member of the Stoughton Area Resource Team, a member of City of Stoughton Joining Forces for Families Committee, and a board member and former Treasurer for the Association of Spiritual Caregivers (Meriter Hospital). Lamarr’s favorite thing about the Stoughton community is the strong spirit of volunteerism present here.
Sharon Folbrecht, Part-Time Assistant to the Transportation Coordinator & Board Member
Born in Portage, WI and raised by her family in Stoughton, Sharon graduated from Stoughton High School, received a Bachelor's Degree from UW-Platteville, and a Master's Degree in Social Work from UW-Madison. Always having a strong compassion for wanting to provide services and resources in helping to care for those in need, Sharon worked in the fields of Probation and Parole, Child Protective Services, and in the area of medical care in Madison, Wisconsin, as well as in the states of Arizona and California. More recently, Sharon worked in our own Neighborhood Free Health Clinic as the Program Director. Focusing on providing case management services, she helped with those who were particularly afflicted with mental health issues and concerns. Locally, Sharon continues to volunteer for community nonprofit organizations, including Stoughton ATP, and serves as a poll worker for the City of Stoughton. Believing in the mission of Stoughton ATP for helping people receive safe, reliable transportation services, her new role as the Stoughton ATP Part-Time Assistant to the Transportation Coordinator will help bring public awareness about Stoughton ATP services. She will help with focusing on community needs, support Stoughton ATP drivers with riders, and aid in maintaining financial sustainability for Stoughton ATP.
