Appalachian Assistive Technology Loan Fund Hires Executive Director
The following press release is from our friends at Appalachian Assistive Technology Loan Fund (AATLF).
Please join us in welcoming Laura A. White-Brown, the first Executive Director of AATLF!
A native of Morehead, Kentucky, Laura officially assumed the role on June 1, 2026. Her extensive experience serving her community and the Appalachian region makes her well-suited to lead AATLF during this exciting period of growth.
Among her many accomplishments, Laura was elected as the first female and youngest mayor of Morehead, Kentucky. She has also worked with the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service on nutrition programs, earned a Bachelor of Science in Health Promotion, and is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Public Administration.
The AATLF Board and PATF are excited to welcome Laura and look forward to supporting AATLF’s continued growth and success as it transitions into a stand-alone nonprofit federal CDFI and no longer a subsidiary of PATF beginning July 1, 2026.
