Board of Directors
Libbey Houseman
Director interior/north
I’m thrilled to accept the Director of Interior/North board position. I came to call Alaska home in 2011 after moving to Fairbanks, and I currently work as an early intervention occupational therapist providing in-person and telehealth services to families in the Aleutian and Pribilof Islands, Seward community, and Homer area. I enjoy traveling to work in rural and remote areas of Alaska while staying connected in the Fairbanks community. When I’m not working, some of my favorite activities include hiking, running, skiing, berry picking, and camping. I’d like to serve on the board to provide a voice for OT practitioners in the Interior and Northern regions, offer social connection and networking opportunities, and support the AKOTA mission.
Term Renewal Date: March 2027
Tami Boyer
director southcentral
I live in Anchorage and am excited to volunteer on the AKOTA board as I retired from the Providence Health Care system two years ago after 37 years of service. I have not retired my OT license! My career has focused on the adult population across multiple settings. Those included inpatient Rehab, Acute Care, Home Health Care and most recently Long Term Care /Skilled Nursing with a passion for caring for those with dementia and maintaining quality of life for those that remain in skilled nursing care for the duration of their lives. Throughout my career I have loved the opportunity to engage, mentor and supervise OT students from observation to professional rotations. I seek to maintain my connection with Alaska OT clinicians through this volunteer opportunity at AKOTA. I am loving my retired life! More time with my partner at our cabin, being outside in beautiful Alaska with our three Golden Retrievers, nurturing my flower garden beds during the summer and a host of inside and outside winter activities as the season approaches. Thank you for considering me for this opportunity!
