Letitia Hanke
CEO/President, ARS Roofing, Gutters & Solar
A small-town girl from Lake County, California, Letitia grew up dreaming of a music career. Recognized from childhood for her musical talents, she attended Sonoma State University envisioning a future in the performing and recording arts. When the opportunity arose, she took a position at a prominent roofing company and managed the business for 8 years. In 2004, she started her own roofing company Alternative Roofing Solutions and Sonoma/Napa/Marin Seamless Gutters now known as ARS Roofing, Gutters & Solar. In March 2021 she celebrated 25 years in the industry. She currently employs 24 full-time, year-round employees servicing the North Bay.
Letitia’s vision to advocate for the disadvantaged inspired her to start the 501c3 nonprofit foundation called The LIME Foundation in 2015. Through three programs, her non-profit advocates for at-risk youth in the community along with seniors and veterans, by providing health services, music and arts, technology, and construction training.
