A passionate group of community members made up of philanthropists, counselors, former faculty, local government leadership, and business executives, the Engage & Heal Board is a dynamic group of leaders with one mission in mind–to break the stigma of mental health. Our board is proudly comprised of 100 percent volunteers.
Prior to joining Engage & Heal, Danielle Lair served children and families in the local church since 2010, including her most recent role as the director of Children’s Ministry at Lake Travis United Methodist Church (LTUMC).
Through Danielle’s own trauma recovery journey, she has become increasingly passionate about mental health and wellness. She believes healing begins when we share our stories with others in safe spaces. Danielle co-founded Finding Hope Wellness Center in 2024 to help address the barriers to mental health care and reduce the stigma.
Danielle is a Board-Certified Mental Health Coach and Life Coach with specialties in trauma-informed care and brain health.
As a mother of 2, Amelia has held the position of Vice President for fund raising at several booster clubs at the local High School where she consistently exceeded budget goals. During this time she witnessed first-hand our youths’ challenges, struggles, and determination inspiring her to co-found the Erik Hanson Scholarship in memoriam for one of her daughter’s friends who lost his struggle. Because of the need Ms. Floyd has seen in our community, she co-founded the Engage & Heal Foundation to erase the stigma of mental health and shatter the silence that surrounds this issue. Her determination and devotion to community will help her excel as President of the Engage & Heal Foundation.

As a small business owner of Electric Avenue Athletics (EAA), I am proud of this passion project that grew from my youngest daughter’s love of the sport. EAA is the only dedicated Junior Olympics Acrobatics & Tumbling (A&T) gym in the nation. This facility is home to the 2018 & 2019 USA Gymnastics National Champions in both the Senior and Junior Division, as well as the 2021 & 2022 NYATA National Champions. Acrobatics and Tumbling is the fast-growing sport in the NCAA (my daughter is currently on the Baylor University Acrobatics & Tumbling Team) and is a gateway for scholarships for women who want to be collegiate student athletes. Celebrating five years of business in January 2023, we have grown from 15 students to over 600 in various classes such as A&T, Little Ninjas, Tumbling and Cheer Prep. I spend my days heading up the gym’s marketing efforts, public relations, social media campaigns and children’s programming, dedicating my time and energy to helping these athletes grow, set and achieve goals, and be the best versions of themselves.
