Meet our wonderful board members below who keep our organization running and fun for all members! They are all volunteers and were voted in by our members. We appreciate their work year-round.

Amity Highley, President

Email: tpom_pres@tacomamultiples.org

In 2014, I joined TPOM while pregnant with our daughters and in the midst of moving to Washington. TPOM has been an excellent resource for all things related to raising multiples and older siblings. My children are now entering the teenage (oldest son) and tween years (identical daughters), and I still rely on our group for advice for older children. I am grateful for this opportunity to continue to serve as president, allowing me to give back to our wonderful community of parents of multiples.

Kathryn Winston, Vice President

Email: tpom_vp@tacomamultiples.org

I am mother to an 11 year old daughter and 9 year old identical twin boys and married to the love of my life for 13 years. I have been a part of TPOM for 7 years now serving many different roles, but Vice President has been my favorite. The best part of TPOM has been the friendships gained and watching all the kids grow up together. I can’t wait for what the next year brings.

Denise Oatman, Secretary

I became a member of the organization during my pregnancy and was warmly welcomed by a group of supportive and inspiring women who have since become valued friends. The members have offered encouragement and reassurance as I have navigated the early years of caring for my twin children. Our family benefits from and enjoys the events held throughout the year. I sincerely appreciate this organization and am grateful to be a part of it.

Melissa Brassard, Treasurer, NW Junior Delegate

Email: tpom_treas@tacomamultiples.org

I was born and raised in Pierce County and will likely never move away from the south Puget Sound area but I do love to travel!!! Our family also loves camping – we camp at least one weekend a month February to October (sometimes November). I joined TPOM back in 2018 while pregnant with my identical twin boys. From our very first meeting, our family has felt welcomed and supported. I absolutely love all of the events and ways to connect with other twin families throughout the year. We are building lifelong bonds and friendships, not only for us as parents, but also our kids.
I’ve worked various roles in accounting over the years and I look forward to serving as your Treasurer.
