Welcome to The Alley On The Run Show. I'm your host Alley Feller and this is The On The Job

series where we meet women with cool, unique, interesting careers. So far in season 2,

we've heard from Funeral Director, Joe Marie Flores and COVID-19 researcher Amy Diallo.

Now we talk a lot, especially lately about the helpers. And today we're hearing from another one

of those helpers. My guest today is Ross Alton-Bot and like the women we've heard from before her,

the work she does is so so important and meaningful. Ross is the executive director at Flagstaff

Shelter Services, the largest emergency shelter in Northern Arizona. Since 2014, Flagstaff

Shelter Services has permanently housed more than 500 individuals and families, which Ross says is

the goal to find permanent housing for those who need it most. Now, Ross might be the most humble

person I've ever talked to, not just on the show, but in life. And since I know she won't brag about

herself, let me be the one to shout from the rooftops that the Virginia Housing Coalition named

Ross as one of the top 40 under 40 in housing in Virginia in 2013. She's won leadership awards.

She was named a top 20 under 40 by the Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce and the Arizona Daily Sun.

She has a remarkable human and in addition to the important work she does at the shelter,

Ross is also a mom of two and of course a runner. So let's meet her. She's amazing.

Ross, I just need you to know that I bow down to you. I don't know how you are making time to have

this conversation, let alone literally change the world every day. So I am super honored to have

you here. Welcome to the alley on the run show. Oh, thank you so much for having me and for that amazing

introduction that I is definitely not deserved. So thank you. Oh my gosh. Not deserved. All right,
