Meet the Board
Athena Short
President
Athena Bannister Short is a third-generation All Saints camper, community builder, and advocate for connection-centered care. She currently serves as the Development Strategist for the , where she works to engage, educate, and empower communities through harm reduction principles that meet people where they are. In her role, Athena collaborates closely with organizational leadership on grant-funded initiatives, community events, fundraising, sustainability efforts, and volunteer engagement, while also integrating mindfulness and wellness practices into her work.
A cradle Episcopalian, Athena was baptized and raised at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Louisville, Kentucky. After St. John’s closed its doors, her family found a new church home at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, thanks in large part to friendships formed through All Saints. Like many young adults, Athena spent time exploring life outside of the institutional church while continuing to live out the values of compassion and service that shaped her upbringing. In 2025, she returned to active parish life at Christ Church Cathedral, drawn by the Episcopal Church’s commitment to harm reduction, community care, and radical welcome.
Athena’s connection to All Saints began in infancy. She attended her first camp session in second grade and remained deeply involved throughout her youth, serving on Youth Council and later as a Counselor-in-Training (CIT). For her family, All Saints was more than a summer destination—it was a second home. Countless weekends were spent on the grounds, building relationships, making memories, and strengthening a lifelong connection to the camp community.
When asked about her favorite All Saints memory, Athena finds it impossible to choose just one. As a homeschooled child in the 1990s, All Saints provided a unique opportunity to connect with young people from diverse backgrounds and experiences. The friendships she formed there became the foundation for years of connection beyond camp, inspiring Halloween parties at St. John’s, reunions with camp friends, and a lifelong appreciation for authentic community. More than anything, All Saints taught her the value of belonging, listening deeply, and engaging in meaningful conversations across differences.
Athena chose to serve on the Friends of All Saints Board because she believes deeply in preserving the legacy of this sacred place for future generations. Through her work and lived experience, she sees many people longing for opportunities to reconnect—with themselves, with one another, with nature, and with God. All Saints offers exactly that. Whether someone arrives with a strong faith practice or none at all, they are welcomed as they are and invited into community.
One of Athena’s favorite camp songs is The Garden Song, whose lyrics have become something of a life philosophy: “Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow.” She carries that spirit into all aspects of her life, planting seeds of connection, compassion, and belonging wherever she goes.
Aaron Noon
Treasurer
All Saints has been a part of Aaron's life for as long as he can remember. His family has been connected to the camp and conference center since its inception, and all four of his siblings attended camp and later served as counselors. The values, friendships, and experiences gained through All Saints have remained an important part of his life ever since.
Professionally, Aaron works in the technology industry as a Specialized Sales Executive with Lumen Technologies. He is also an active member of Good Shepherd Episcopal Church in Lexington, Kentucky, and volunteers with the American Red Cross as part of the Disaster Action Team, helping support communities during times of crisis.
Some of Aaron's favorite memories of All Saints involve the simple joys of camp life: exploring the woods, fishing behind the chapel with Reid Johnson during afternoon free time, and building friendships that lasted long after camp ended. Like many camp alumni, he still finds himself randomly singing songs learned at All Saints over the years.
Aaron chose to serve on the Friends of All Saints Board after attending a reunion event and recognizing both the needs and opportunities facing the camp. He believes strongly in preserving and strengthening All Saints so future generations can experience the same sense of adventure, community, faith, and belonging that shaped his own life. He is grateful for the opportunity to support the future of a place that has meant so much to his family for generations.

She also treasures a post-Hurricane Katrina mission trip to New Orleans with Former Director Ben and fellow counselors. The experience was eye-opening and strengthened her sense of gratitude, empathy, and understanding of God's grace and love.
