Longtime staff member named interim director of Tahoe Youth & Family Services

The Tahoe Youth & Family Services (TYFS) Board of Directors has appointed Cheyanne Lane as the new interim executive director for the agency that started in 1971.

Cheyanne began working for TYFS in 2006 and has filled many roles during her tenure. Most recently, she has served as the agency's Supportive Services manager focusing on homeless intervention and prevention services to ensure that unaccompanied minors and homeless young adults in our community have a voice and are represented.

“I am honored to be at the helm during this transition,” said Lane. “I bring a core understanding of the organization’s mission and a commitment to serving our communities. I will continue to focus on offering the best programs and services possible, exemplifying our core values, which include integrity, community, leadership, and excellence.”

Cheyanne is an active member in the South Lake Tahoe community, serving as a board member of Encompass Youth, Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless, a member of the Homeless Task Force, and a 2012 graduate of the Lake Tahoe Chamber of Commerce's Leadership Lake Tahoe.

“I am excited about the appointment of Cheyanne Lane as our Interim Executive Director.” Said DeAnna Imelli, board president. “She has great passion for the programs she directs, and I know she will extend that passion to directing the future of TYFS.”

The Board of Directors will be working in partnership with Cheyanne to make necessary improvements within the agency so they may better serve the South Lake Tahoe and Douglas County communities.
