Shana Coune, BSN, RN, CBN
Associate Board Co-chair
I joined OhioGuidestone’s Associate Board after volunteering at my first Trunk or Treat event in 2018. It was so much fun decorating and passing out treats for the residential foster kids. They had a blast! I applied for a leadership role so that I could be a part of planning and executing similar events through developing professional relationships on behalf of the Associate Board.
