Elaine Boltz has extensive experience, insight and empathy for people trying to meet the sometimes competing demands of job and family members. She joined LMA in 1999, after over ten years at the Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit 13 and service in both the public and university education field. Elaine helped create LMA's Enhanced Employee Assistance Services (E-EAS) program, which offers options for employees in the sandwich generation. E-EAS connects employees who are juggling careers and childcare / eldercare with options for child and elder daycare, respite care and specialized living arrangements. These options provide caregivers with the time and resources they need to function more effectively as both employees and family members.

In addition to managing EAP accounts and serving on LMA's Crisis Response Team, Elaine provides educational seminars. With extensive training in the positive power of humor, she has helped many individuals and organizations learn to use humor as an effective and appropriate resource for building resiliency and coping with difficulties in both their personal and work lives.
