Laura Hunter is one of the original co-founders of Open Sky Co-op, a nonprofit organization that helps adults with mental health challenges and disabilities transition from high school to adulthood.

Now, twenty years later, Open Sky has called her back and she is taking over from longtime former Executive Director Margaret Tusz-King. 

Hunter spent a few months transitioning into the position, and officially started in early July. CHMA gave her a call to see how the transition was going, what she’s all about, and what her dreams are for Open Sky.
