Denver Achievement Academy Corner
Meet our Board Chair, Alice Barton

DAC member Alice Barton joined the board and was elected chair in December 2011. Ms. Barton has a background in corporate leadership and planning and was most recently an operational excellence leader at Genentech in South San Francisco.  
	 Ms. Barton has recently turned her focus towards the non-profit world and says "working with the Denver Achievement Academy is an incredible experience."  The mission, dedicated to launching under-served students onto a pathway for success in life by enhancing academic achievement is so critical.  Adding the athletic component which studies show helps develop young minds is crucial.  I am thrilled that the DAC supports our program!"
	In addition to her work on the DAA board, Ms. Barton also volunteers for the Women's Homeless Initiative.  She is a master's degree candidate at the school of Public Administration at UCD.  She graduated from East Denver High School, attended Knox College and studied Business Administration at Harvard University Extension.  She is also a Six-Sigma Master Black Belt.
	An avid cyclist, Ms. Barton will be joining other DAC members for Ride the Rockies this June.  She serves on the Food and Beverage Committee and recently accepted the position of co-chair for the Women in Business Committee.
