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.
