Alice Lara, RN

President and CEO, Sudden Arrhythmia Syndromes (SADS) Foundation

alice.jpg I came to SADS looking for a challenging, fast-paced position that would utilize my skills in fund raising, marketing/public relations, volunteer management, program development, and financial management, as well as my medical background.  But mostly, I wanted to work for a nonprofit that I felt was really doing good work! SADS is such an organization.

I was trained as a Registered Nurse and worked for 8 years in nursing, nursing administration and teaching nursing. I have spent the past 14 years working in the nonprofit world-in administration, fund raising and consulting-in the Bay Area and now in Salt Lake City.

I have one, son now living in Hawaii. The rest of my family live in the Salt Lake area. My dog, Sophia, is the SADS office dog. We love to go for long walk/runs every morning and to wander the Farmer's Market in the summer. I love cooking, reading, gardening, travel and needlepoint or counted cross-stitch.

I am excited about the new Board and staff. I am honored to be involved with SADS, our volunteers and our staff. Working together, I know we can make a difference!
