Our Volunteer Board
Katie McNamara
Secretary
Katie is passionate about removing barriers for women to access empowering outdoor adventures. She really connects with the WITT mission and culture that creates and celebrates space to be totally new at something. WITT builds thoughtful community collaborations & strategic offerings to remove barriers for so many women in the Tetons and Katie is excited to be a part of expanding access and inclusivity. Katie works locally in the bike industry as a small business owner and loves to sail on Jackson Lake with her husband Bill and German shepherd/lab mix, Tupper.
Mary Zingler
Treasurer
Mary first became involved with Women in the Tetons when she was a recipient of a backpacking scholarship in 2021. A mom and stepmom of 6 grown kids and 5 grandchildren, she recently relocated with her husband and dogs to the Teton Valley. When she is not working as a Nurse and Global Educator for Medtronic, she can be found with a group of gals perfecting how to gracefully fall when mountain biking or skiing. Originally from NJ, Mary’s passion for the outdoors began in 1988 when she worked in GTNP at JLL. She’s excited to be a part of WITT’s mission, supporting all women to get outside and explore.
Chantelle Robitaille
Events
Chantelle grew up in the great white north of Canada and learned at an early age that there’s no such thing as bad weather- only bad preparation. She moved to the US after a decade in the Swiss Alps and is thrilled to call Wilson home. She joined the Women in the Tetons board in the summer of 2022 wanting to give back to an organization that brought her skills and a sense of community. A high altitude exercise physiologist and endurance coach by profession, she loves any excuse to get others out to play in the dirt or the snow safely and confidently.
Alison Dawant
As one of our newest board members, Alison joined Women in the Tetons in the summer 2024. Hailing from Nashville, TN by way of Denver, CO, Alison moved to Jackson Hole in 2020. Alison fell in love with the outdoors in college where she was introduced to mountain biking, rock climbing, whitewater rafting, and backpacking. When she moved out west, that love expanded to include fly fishing, paddleboarding, and skiing (both alpine and cross-country). She has dubbed herself a “Jill of all trades, master of none,” making her the resident YES girl to try new activities and welcome beginners with open arms.
Alison loves to get people excited about new adventures and encourage others to try new things, even if it is their first time. Even though she lives minutes away from Grand Teton National park, you can usually find Alison in the surrounding national forest, exploring with her dog, Maggie. Alison may not have the best sense of direction, but she is never lost when she is in the outdoors.
Taylor-Ann Smith
Taylor-Ann (also known locally as T-A) is born-n-raised Montanan with family roots in Eastern Wyoming. She moved to Jackson on a whim in 2017 and has since made it her home with her partner Dan and cat Maru.
When T-A isn’t at her desk working as a full-time graphic designer, she is spending weekends and after hours on her side hustle, Ride Force, which she founded in 2021 to bring more inclusion, accessibility, and style to mountain biking.
She joined the board in 2024 after attending the WITT Trails to Tailgates events and hopes to contribute her business acumen, graphic design skills, and passion for downhill mountain biking to the women of Teton County through WITT. She loves to encourage other women in new ventures, strategize events, and get more women together for inspiration and collaboration.
Kelsey Brehm
Kelsey grew up in Franktown, Colorado and moved to Jackson in 2009 to pursue more time skiing and being in the mountains. Since moving to Jackson she has found a love for backcountry skiing, rafting, rock climbing, and mountaineering. When she isn’t playing outside she can be found cuddling her two cats, reading, or cooking.
Kelsey became passionate about the nonprofit community in Jackson. Joining the WITT board in 2024 was a natural fit for her to combine her love of getting women outdoors with her desire to give back to the Jackson community. She loves to see women feel the confidence to try out a new activity with the support and encouragement of other women who can teach and cheer them on!
