A-NOD Board Members

I remarried in 1995 to Donald Betts. I retired from Qwest in 2004 and became a  grandmother  in 2005, 2007, and 2011. 

In 2011 I became a Respite worker for Childserve  which entails providing activities for my grandsons blessed with special health concerns, providing their breaks for their parents during the day as well as  enjoying and having the time talking to my grankids on the way to school and back.

My title is Promotional Specialist and it's my job to order our products and our promotional items for our vendor's table at various events. I am a very happily married wife, mother, grandma, and great grandma! I grew up with a special needs brother and I am dealing with my own anxieties etc. I also help my husband with some of his needs, just as he helps me with some of mine. We are each other's caregiver! I am retired on disability which allows me time to spend with family, with my fur babies, reading, and fishing.

Most of my life I have spent helping others. As a young adult I worked in a nursing home. Later I worked in customer service as a cashier and security officer. I am now taking care of my parents who reside in my home. I believe my purpose in life is to help others. I love the outdoors and all types of animals.  Thank you for your time and have a blessed day.

I live in Southern California, where I met and married my husband, Bill, in 1986. We have raised and home educated our 5 children.  For 29 years I have helped my husband with the office side of running our own small business.  I have also done Event Planning for Craft Fairs, Used Curriculum Fairs, Fundraisers, and Ladies Teas. I am comfortable speaking in public and enjoy meeting people.  Our church offers an additional separate service specifically accommodating families with Special Needs (ie, Autism/Asperger's Syndrome) children/adults allowing them to attend church together.  For the last year I have had the privilege of helping to facilitate this service by attending and helping with the worship time.  This has increased my awareness of the special needs and difficulties that families with such special health challenged individuals must deal with on a daily basis.

Hi, my name is Grace Hansen. I am 32 years old. I Have been married to my husband for 13 years and together we have 6 kids (5 out of the 6 are special needs). I am a stay home mom. I can sew anything; I also do embroidery and I can put any image on anything. I am a loving, friendly, smart, and easy person to get along with. I am a family originated person. I enjoy helping people and being with family. I got my associates in business administration. I like to keep busy and always on the go. 

Michael is 17 years old, and is a senior in High School. He is an active participant in Color Guard, Music and Theater, and Dimensions Singing. I hope to be able to help expand the business as well as help explain it more so.

I am the mother of nine children and at this time, the grandmother of two very special little boys.  I have been an Elementary School Teacher and have worked on pursuing my Master's Degree in Speech and Language Pathology.  I am a Certified 200 RYT Yoga Instructor and I will complete my course work in July for my 500 RYT.

I live in the beautiful Midway, Utah mountains with my husband Pete and our six amazing children, some of who may not look like it, but they are very special needs. For over four years we have utilized this program for our household. We have the safety sticker on our front door, the back of our vehicle windows, high school locker, etc. The safety sticker opens doors to questions and more education to ensure that things run well for everyone involved. I am thankful for peace of mind the A-NOD program and the sticker symbolizes alerting awareness to any authorities, or family navigators (ex: police, medical specialist, school leaders and teachers, state social workers, therapists, etc.) that need to help a child, an adult, or senior who have a special need, to be alerted and open to a conversation on how to approach the situation most safely and efficiently. In the short and long run, the A-NOD symbol alone will open doors, strengthen relationships, and ultimately save lives.

I am experienced in working with families and children who deal with alcoholism and Alzheimer’s patients. Volunteering with for 34 years. I have also chaired AA Meetings and served as an AA Advocate for those who are walking their Serenity Journey. I have compassion and understanding for the people who suffer from this. 
And my best friend ever since I’ve known her before she had children has three special needs children. And they are like my children. I love them and I have spent a lot of time with them since they were born. My heart goes out to those who deal with special health needs and I feel drawn to help these children. I have created two children's books that reflect my concern for them. I am willing to do whatever it takes to bring awareness to them and help.

I am honored to support a team and organization that will promote situational awareness and work to assist individuals and families with behavioral health concerns.  As a 4th Degree Member of the Knights of Columbus, I served as the Life Director promoting the dignity and respect of life for all, including persons with intellectual and physical disabilities. I am married with 8 children. My wife Nancy and I regularly go on a "date night" enjoying a meal out and sometimes a movie together.  We can be seen leading songs at church and involved with prayer groups and parish committees. I currently serve as the Parish Evangelist for St. Joseph Catholic Church and school on a mission to make intentional disciples that will transform the world.

Hello. I am Lisa Quick. I am the A-NOD Situational LLC's Administrative Assistant. My role is to help A-NOD find the voice of Awareness, Advocacy, and Aid for those who are seeking empowerment in these area especially when dealing with situational anxiety disabilities and sensory health concerns, and especially while in the presence of our First Responders. 

I started doing service work when I got sober. First, I was led to taking mtgs to the hospitals or other facilities. I give rides, deliver food to shut ins, and know that service is what life is about. 

Being on disability means I have even more time to give. 
My work revolves around The White House. 

My title is Veteran's Advocate. I spent nearly 3 years in the Navy during the Vietnam Era working as a boiler technician. I worked for a combined 30 years in the Department of Corrections for the states of Illinois and South Carolina. All of this has contributed to me developing severe PTSD and suffering from depression and anxiety. I retired on disability in 2010 and have officially and fully retired in 2024. When I'm not helping my wife, I enjoy spending time with my family and fur babies. When I can, I like to garden and go fishing.
