Ahlara International

Description

Lynne was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and lived in Chicago and Boston before moving to Statesville, North Carolina with her husband. Lynne began her career after college working in specialty retail. She was Vice President of stores with Talbots, opening over 100 stores in two years before she finally landed as CEO of one of the divisions of Stride Rite Shoes. After 20 years in retail, she left the corporate world and opened a Wellness Center in Boston and began leading spiritual and adventure tours to the world’s sacred sites. She sold her wellness center at the time she developed her philanthropic interest while traveling to third-world countries. She began to help impoverished villages by raising money for projects that enhance the lives of others. Her groups have built a school in Tibet, a medical clinic (providing a doctor and medicine), and provided electricity and water to several small villages. She is responsible for educating numerous children in India, Tibet, Nepal and Peru. In 2005, Lynne created Ahlara International to establish a center for serenity and well-being. She is currently active in the Mooresville Chamber of Commerce and sits on the Board of Directors for Tibet Aid. She also sponsors, through Ahlara International, an organization to educate young women in Nepal.
