Arla grew up in Salt Lake City and holds a BS from the University of Utah and later attended Boise State University for post graduate classes. Raising 3 sons to be men that respect and value women as equals has been a challenging and rewarding experience. Arla is excited to be a member of Go Lead Idaho and knows the importance to society of empowering women to have a voice and realize potential.
Arla loves the outdoors and feels fortunate to live in Idaho where she can hike, ski, bike, and just be in the mountains! Travel to different cultures and appreciation of this beautiful planet, especially with her spouse, Ken Kester, of over 30 years and family, are extremely important to Arla. The bucket list just keeps growing!
Currently, Arla is reading (or using Audible), “The Moment of Lift” by Melinda Gates, and “Understanding Russia”. On deck are “Factfulness: Ten Reasons We’re Wrong About the World”, and a few business books. There’s never enough time!
