Helen Ward Obermeyer
Helen Ward Obermeyer is a lifelong fan of public radio during the majority of her life spent in New York City and now in Colorado. Until recently she worked in the financial services industry for Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette and Guggenheim Partners. Between those assignments she worked for 5 years in production primarily for Jack Morton Productions where she gained great admiration for the art of story telling and the rigors of journalism. Although her production experience was concentrated primarily in film and live presentations she hopes some of these skills may prove helpful in radio. Helen also worked as a producer on the Broadway production of "The Elephant Man".
She is happily married to Wally Obermeyer a lifelong resident of Aspen and is the mother or two extraordinary daughters, who currently attend Choate Rosemary Hall and are rapidly approaching decision making for their next steps in higher education.
Helen has worked for various educational not for profits both in Aspen and New York. She is a graduate of St. Lawrence University.
