YPB Leadership

  • Tania Mialious, Creative Testing Solutions

    YPC Chair
    Member Since 2015

    Lily Tomlin said, “I always wondered why somebody doesn’t do something about then, then I realized I was somebody.” I am passionate about UMOM and ending homelessness because I want to know that I am making an impact in our community.

    Member Since 2015

    We are all brothers and sisters. To help end the cycle of homelessness and give people back their dignity is an ambitious goal worth working toward.

  • Haley Bottcher, Phoenix Business Journal

    Membership Chair
    Member Since 2015

    I don’t think some people understand the vicious cycle involved with homelessness. I believe that with more education and advocacy, together, we can end family homelessness.

  • Cambria Bowman, YWCA Metro Phoenix

    Activities Chair
    Member Since 2016

    Housing is the most basic and most important right of everyone in Arizona. Ending homelessness is important work and I am happy to support it.

  • Bree Boehlke, Valley Metro

    YPC Secretary
    Member Since 2019

    I am passionate about helping end homelessness because I care about the community I live in. Those that are un-sheltered and experiencing homelessness should have affordable housing options in my community. UMOM helps give a “hand up” to those in our community that need it and works on long-term solutions to helping end homelessness and improve access to affordable housing.
