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.
Ken Bilgrien, Board Member
Ken grew up in Watertown, Wisconsin. After serving in the U.S. Coast Guard, he earned a degree in Forest Products Engineering from the University of Minnesota and went on to build a successful career in the housing industry. He spent the first half of his career as a General Sales Manager for a national housing company and the following 25 years as the Owner and President of Hallmark Custom Homes and Otter Creek Log Homes. For more than 40 years, Ken has also served as an ordained Deacon in the Roman Catholic Church, dedicating his ministry to supporting the elderly, the poor, and the homeless. He has served on several charitable outreach boards, including St. Joseph’s Residence, where he chaired the Morals and Ethics Committee and served on the Patient Safety Committee. Ken also founded an outreach agency in Hortonville, where he and his volunteers helped meet the basic needs of more than 250 families each year in a rural community without other available resources.
“I have come to realize that while our clients’ needs may differ, one constant remains—the need for reliable transportation. I’m proud to be part of ATP, which meets this vital need so effectively.”
Jeanne Hehr, Board Member
Jeanne built her career in federal law enforcement as a Special Agent with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, serving in Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison, Gulfport, Mississippi, and New Orleans, Louisiana. She later returned to Madison, where she retired as Agent in Charge. Following her retirement, Jeanne continued her dedication to public service as the Program and Volunteer Coordinator at the Stoughton Area Senior Center. Throughout her life, she has been deeply committed to volunteerism, contributing her time and energy to organizations such as Meals on Wheels, the Madison Area Coalition for the Aging, Hospice, the Stoughton Food Pantry, and, for the past three years, as a volunteer driver with Stoughton ATP.
