Board of Directors
Meet Our Officers

Katie Yekin
President
I started teaching at BTC in 2019 and joined the Lyman foundation that same year. This is my first year on the board and as President. I am excited for a great year working together to raise money to provide the students in the Burger program with opportunities to learn, have fun and showcase their unique talents and personalities!

Audrey Barnak
Vice President
I started teaching at Burger School for Students with Autism in 2005. Shortly after being hired, I began volunteering for the Lyman Foundation, and officially joined the committee in 2021. This is my first year as the Vice President. I am excited to work with the committee to help make a difference for our students and the program!

Val King
Secretary
I’m excited to serve as the Secretary this year! I was hired as a Paraprofessional in August 2013. I’m currently in the Wayne RESA Para to Teacher Program and am eager to continue my time at Burger as a Classroom Teacher. I’m so grateful for the partnership of the Lyman Foundation and Burger Program, for all of the opportunities that are funded for our students.

Ann Marie Witkowski
Corresponding Secretary
I have worked at Burger School for Students with Autism as a paraprofessional since 1999. I have been involved with the Lyman Foundation for many years. Now that my kids have grown and have less activities, I have more time. I joined the board as corresponding secretary in 2019.

Andy Witkowski
Treasurer
Great story coming soon!

Rylee Jayson
Public Relations
I am a behavior support paraprofessional at Burger Baylor. I have been apart of Burger for five years and every year I have been a part of the Lyman Foundation. I was elected to the board in 2021. This position is brand new because of the expanding social media presence. I am honored to be the first one to be in this position.
