new members, officers
PRESS RELEASE DATE: JUNE
15, 2009
The House of Hope board of
directors elected three new members this spring.
New to the HOH board are
Laurel Kelly, the Martin County Property
Appraiser; Brad Larsen, of ERISA Fiduciary
Advisors; and Elaine Matts, a real estate agent.
Mrs. Matts volunteers in
House of Hope’s food pantry in Stuart and also
has served on committees to help organize
fund-raising events during the past year. Mrs.
Kelly and Mr. Larsen are longtime supporters of
Martin County nonprofits, including service on
the boards of United Way and the YMCA. They
bring a wealth of business and agency experience
to the HOH board.
Earlier in the year, the
board installed new officers:
The new president is Frank
Doyle, who also volunteers in the Stuart food
pantry. He has been instrumental in attracting
more donors and volunteers to House of Hope
through his neighbors in Lost Lake and the
Retreat. He also has spearheaded changes at HOH,
including the case management program to help
people get out of crisis and become more
economically stable.
Charlie D’Agata, the
co-owner of Staffing Solutions of the Treasure
Coast, is the new vice president. Returning as
treasurer is Robert Berg, formerly of First
Atlantic Mortgage.
Cherise Chesney, assistant
vice president and manager of the Cove Road
branch of Seacoast National Bank, is taking over
the position of secretary on the House of Hope
board. The outgoing secretary, Judy Rosenthal,
remains on the board and is involved in House of
Hope’s stewardship efforts. She also co-chairs
events throughout the year, starting with the
“Meal or No Meal” community awareness dinner,
scheduled for Nov. 6.
Marc Baldinger, who served
for five years as House of Hope board president,
will continue his active service on the board,
along with Terry Carder, Marian Carpenter,
Valerie Graham, Barrett Jones, Sue Kinane, and
Father Noel McGrath.
