After growing up in the greater Portland/Vancouver area Catherine was first introduced to the L’Arche Spokane community as a college volunteer. This encounter left a lasting impression and following grad school at WSU (Go Cougs!) Catherine felt called to return to L’Arche as a live-in assistant in Spokane. She has since enjoyed being active in the community in whatever way possible, most recently by joining the Board. Catherine currently works as a home health Dietitian and lives with her husband Shane and their cat in Cheney.

Eric Brosvik

Treasurer

Eric discovered L’Arche in February of 2012 and has been actively involved in the community ever since.  He sees participating in L’Arche as a great way to express his Catholic faith.  As a sole practitioner in public accounting, he was a great fit to fill the Treasurer position on the Board.   He provides value to his clients through tax planning and preparation, consulting and through building efficiencies into accounting systems.
