Honoring a Legacy of Leadership and Community Impact

Meet Lynn Atcheson, a native Nevadan whose leadership and advocacy have left a lasting mark on Reno and Washoe County as we commemorate Women’s History Month.  

Lynn has played pivotal roles in some of Nevada’s most influential organizations, including Sierra Pacific Power Co., Harrah’s, and Washoe Health System—now Renown Health. She is also a founding member of the Nevada Women’s Fund, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering women through education and philanthropy.  Through her work, she has championed initiatives that uplift women, strengthen communities, and create opportunities for future generations. 

During our conversation you will learn the inspiration behind the Nevada Women’s Fund, the challenges of building community-driven initiatives, and Lynn’s insights on leadership and philanthropy.
