Changes to Board Membership
Each year there are changes to Board membership, usually as the result of volunteers adjusting the demands on their time from their families or other volunteer or church-related activities. This year is no exception. Michael Lerner served during the past two years as Vice Chair as well as serving double-duty in 2021 as the Acting Chair. These roles will now be filled by Tom Callanen, as Chair, and Carrie Le, as Vice Chair. Tom served for the past two years as the newsletter editor and Carrie as the Communications Committee chair, a role she will continue. Michael has agreed to remain on the Board — where he has served since 2016 in a variety of capacities — offering his experience to Tom and Carrie. He will now focus his attention on our clients, organizing the procedures for managing incoming clients as well as handling the needs of existing ones.
Other Board changes include the departure of Jan Gordon who served as the Chair of the Client Advocacy Committee – she will remain on the committee and continue as a Ride Coordinator and driver. Jan is being replaced by new Board member Carolyn Jeskey, one of our most active drivers. Another new member is Mark Turco. He will serve as Chair of the Audit Committee but will also continue as a Ride Coordinator. In addition to their Board duties almost all of the members are regular drivers for our clients, an activity they feel is essential for our community.
