TIFFANY HOLMAN
PRESIDENT
My husband, Justin, two children, Jace and Dillyn, and I have lived in Bennington since 2015. Dillyn is currently a 4th grader at Anchor Pointe Elementary, while Jace is a 6th grader at Bennington South Middle School.
With a passion for youth development, I've coached Youth Cheer for two seasons and was recently elected as the Bennington Youth Cheer Board President for the 2025 season. My background in cheerleading includes cheering on coed teams in both high school and college.
You can often find me on the sidelines, cheering for my kids in youth basketball, baseball, football, and cheer. I believe that youth programs like cheerleading play a vital role in nurturing leadership, commitment, discipline, accountability, teamwork, and resilience in young athletes. I feel incredibly honored to be part of this organization and to make a lasting impact on our youth.
JENNY STOKES
VICE PRESIDENT
For the past eight years, I've called the Shadowbrook neighborhood in Bennington home. My spouse, Jeremy, and I are proud parents of three wonderful children, Brynley
(8), Braelynn (7) and Brylee (2).
We have been actively participating in Bennington Youth Cheer since 2020. Over the last three years, I've had the privilege of serving on the board, and in the most recent year, I also took on the rewarding role of co-coaching the 3rd grade team. I am so excited for the upcoming season!
AMANDA HUGHES
TREASURER
I have been an active board member of Bennington Youth
Cheer (BYC) Cheer for several years and currently serve as Treasurer. With a strong background in leadership, finance, and community engagement, I am dedicated to ensuring the financial health and sustainability of the program.
I am passionate about youth development and committed to providing young athletes with opportunities to grow both in cheer and in life. My experience in financial management and strategic planning helps BYC continue to thrive, making a lasting impact on the Bennington community.
NICOLE BAXTER
SECRETARY
I'm deeply invested in fostering a positive and supportive environment for our young athletes. With three children, ages 10 (twins) and 8, all actively involved in Bennington Youth Sports, I understand firsthand the importance of these programs. My own experience as a high school cheerleader, coupled with my current role as a Bennington Youth Cheer coach, gives me a unique perspective on the sport.
Beyond cheer, I also serve as the Director of Dibs for Bennington Youth Football. I'm passionate about being involved in my children's activities and truly value the opportunity to connect with and support the families within our Bennington community. My family and I also make it a priority to attend as many Bennington community events as possible, further strengthening our ties to this wonderful town.
AMANDA THOME
CHEER COMMISSIONER
My Husband and I have three children: Ragnar (9), Aria (7), and Everly (6), all of whom attend Anchor Pointe Elementary, where I also work. Our family has been proud to call this community home for the past three years and we truly appreciate everything Bennington has to offer.
With five years of personal youth cheer experience and nine years of coaching-including three within this program—I am passionate about the sport. After serving on the board for a year, I'm excited to take on the role of Cheer Commissioner while continuing to serve as the Social Media Coordinator.
Some of my best memories come from youth cheer and I'm excited for my daughters to create lasting memories of their own. I am deeply committed to making this program as meaningful and impactful as possible.
