Ms. Holt currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Yale-New Haven Health System’s Lawrence + Memorial Healthcare Corporation, on the Team Gleason Board, advocating for people living with ALS, and as a Commissioner for the Mansfield, Connecticut Housing Authority. She previously served as Trustee for The National ALS Association and Trinity College in Burlington, Vermont. She was President of the Boards of the ALS Association Northwest Chapter and CT Chapter, and she chaired the Family Advisory Council at Seattle Children’s Hospital.
