At Easterseals Arkansas, the heartbeat of our mission lies in the dedication of our incredible team members. This week, meet Taryn Clement, a valued member of the Finance team. She is one of the many people who go above and beyond each day to help individuals with disabilities lead more independent and fulfilled lives.
Building Community Through Numbers
Taryn Clement brings 14 years of accounting experience and a business degree emphasizing accounting to her role in the Finance department at Easterseals. But it wasn't just the numbers that drew her here. Taryn was searching for something deeper: an organization that makes the community a better place, one step at a time, leaving a positive impact on individuals and families.
"I wanted to be part of something that truly matters," she shares.
With her expertise and enthusiasm, Taryn ensures the financial foundation supporting Easterseals' mission remains strong and steady. Her colleagues know they can count on her not just for accuracy and insight, but for the heart she brings to every task.
The Department's Unofficial Party Planner
Known around the office as the Finance team's unofficial party planner, Taryn has a special knack for turning routine meetings into memorable celebrations. Her attention to detail and upbeat spirit ensure that every gathering feels fun and inclusive, whether it's a milestone anniversary, a budget kickoff, or just a Tuesday that needs brightening.
Her secret weapons? A genuine love for bringing people together and an endless supply of dad jokes. As a huge Green Bay Packers fan, Taryn is always ready to lighten the mood with a laugh and a steaming cup of coffee. (Speaking of coffee, that's the one thing she admits she could never give up. Don't be surprised if your morning brew comes with a punchline!)
A Heart for Service
Beyond her professional life, Taryn is deeply committed to giving back. She actively supports women's shelters, providing safety and resources for those in need, and advocates for domestic violence awareness to help break the cycle and reduce stigma. Her passion for this cause runs deep, reflecting her belief that everyone deserves safety, dignity, and a chance to rebuild their lives.
Taryn also volunteers with the Chamber of Commerce, where she contributes to local growth, builds meaningful relationships, and supports initiatives that strengthen businesses and residents alike. A proud native of Mayflower, Arkansas, she cherishes the small-town feel and strong sense of community that shaped her, and she channels that hometown spirit into everything she does.
Family First, Always
On any day off, you'll find Taryn in the stands cheering her daughter on. Whether it's basketball in winter, volleyball in fall, or softball in spring, these moments of family pride are among her greatest joys. The sound of a referee's whistle and the roar of a supportive crowd? That's where Taryn's heart is happiest.
A Legacy of Kindness
Taryn hopes to be remembered for her heart, humor, and compassion. She wants colleagues and friends alike to recall her as someone who always helped others and made a positive impact:
"I want people to remember that I cared and that I made a difference."
For Taryn Clement, leaving a legacy of kindness is what truly matters. Whether she's balancing budgets, planning celebrations, or advocating for those in need, she brings the same genuine warmth and dedication to everything she touches.
Thank You, Taryn!
