This quickly grew from working in just 2 school districts to the now 12 school districts that participate in the program. This program has evolved into a significant event that motivates students through practical learning and competition. It was clear the rural schools wanted more expertise and STEM materials so the students could have hands-on experience, so Alison co-founded, with her husband, Steven Alejandro, the STEM for Flathead Valley Schools organization in 2019.

She later worked for Kaman Sciences Corp. and Tech Reps Inc., Hughes Missile Systems Co., BF Goodrich Aerospace, Honeywell Defense Avionic Systems Division, and Honeywell Clearwater Space Systems. From 2004 to 2010, she served as Staff Engineer and Launch Vehicle Technical Lead, as a team mate to Lockheed Martin Space Systems, for seven medium-range launch vehicles under the Missile Defense Agency's Targets and Countermeasures Program. She continued to support this program with Aero Thermal Technology, Inc. until her 8th successful launch in 2011.

Before embarking on her career path, Alison graduated from Florida State University with a Bachelor of Science in mathematics, specializing in computer science, in 1982.

Alison Godfrey is inspirational, influential, and a true visionary and thought leader. We cannot wait to meet her and celebrate her accomplishments at this year's gala."

Looking back, Alison attributes her success to her perseverance, work ethic, and inspiration from her parents Carolyn Godfrey, a retired RN, and Maj Robert C. Godfrey, USMC Ret. When not working, Alison enjoys spending time with her husband, Steven, hiking, canoeing, biking, snowshoeing, sledding, cooking, and gardening and caring and playing with their donkeys, chickens, and cats.
