| ALLISON HEFLEY - PROGRAM ADMINISTRATOR
Allison has the unique honor of being a female sailor from the landlocked state of Iowa. The community program in Iowa City that taught her a tack from a jibe inspired her to go on great adventures including sailing up the Eastern seaboard on a replica of the HMS Bounty and experiencing Argentina from the deck of a 38’ catamaran. As Administrator for the new Adventure on the River day program, she hopes to inspire a new generation of youth to take to the water. Allison has worked with youth through boating programs at the Living Classroom Foundation and as a Sea Scout volunteer. |
