OUR BOARD

PRESIDENT

As a retired attorney who has recently relocated to Reno, I was eager to find a way to use my legal skills to benefit my new community and also to connect with and learn more about this community and its people. [Re]Building Together Northern Nevada provides the perfect opportunity to do both, as well as to see the tangible results of my efforts. Safe and comfortable housing is vital but often out of reach to many. RTNNV has the potential to make a major contribution in this area. I am excited to be involved in the launch of this organization and to see it grow from the ground up.

VICE PRESIDENT

I was drawn to RTNNV's mission of creating SROI - Social Return on Investment. The benefits of no cost housing repairs for seniors, veterans, and low-income homeowners are a sound investment which creates significant social and economic returns for our Northern Nevada communities. These repairs strengthen our communities by increasing self-sufficiency, reducing hospitalizations and preserving legacy neighborhoods while improving the overall quality of life, health and wealth of our neighbors.

SECRETARY

I became a [Re]Builder after being introduced to RTNNV by a former coworker.  He knew I was a DIY project person based on my Facebook posts, the posts are always either a project I am working on or food I am preparing.  I am an avid DIYer, constantly learning and adding to my skills.  I was very excited to find out that I could apply those skills and help others at the same time.  I am a banker during the day, so now I am applying my banker skills with the Finance committee and my weekend DIY project skills to the Home Projects committee.  Working on my first project in April made me realize I was in the right place when we saw the smiles on the family’s faces when we were done.

DIRECTOR

I have been aware for many years that safe and affordable housing is a growing challenge all over our country and especially in Nevada.  I’m retired now and looking for more ways to invest my time and talents to benefit our community.  Providing assistance to neighbors who need help to live in their home safely as they age is a perfect means to that end.  It feels good to be a [Re]Builder!

DIRECTOR

Sometimes a small repair can improve someone's day-to-day quality of life. Giving my time and construction law skill set will hopefully make many people have a huge improvement in the quality of their lives.

DIRECTOR

I became a [Re]Builder to help bring the Rebuilding Together organization to northern Nevada after I learned of the important and impactful work they are doing nationwide and in southern Nevada. This remarkable nonprofit helps seniors, veterans, and disabled Nevadans remain in their homes by providing vital repairs, necessary home adaptations, and providing needed heating and cooling updates. This agency will be a game changer for those wanting to stay in their homes, but who need a little help to make it happen.

DIRECTOR

I choose to be a [re]builder because giving back to the community where we have lived for over 50 years and raised our family is so important to me.  Helping people stay in their homes creates a safe, welcoming environment for residents of northern Nevada.

DIRECTOR

As a retired full-time Nevada National Guard Colonel and long-term Nevada resident, I was seeking a way to use my skills and experience to support veterans and others in need.  Throughout my 32-year-career in military service, I received requests for assistance from young military families whose family members had deployed overseas, as they did not have the financial means to replace a furnace or air conditioner or meet other household needs. It is true that this service and support is needed by others in the community, not just military families.  Rebuilding Together Northern Nevada (RTNNV) is the perfect organization to assist these families.  Nothing is more vital than having safe and functional housing and facilities.  I am tremendously grateful for the opportunity to serve as a board member with RTNNV; to contribute, witness, and participate in these positive impacts on our community.  I am excited to be involved with this great organization and support the growth of the operation in service to our fine community in Northern Nevada.

DIRECTOR

Joining the board of Rebuilding Together Northern Nevada aligns with my personal commitment to community service and my desire to make a tangible, positive impact in the lives of those who have served our country. As a board member, I would have the opportunity to leverage my skills and experiences to support the organization's mission of assisting low-income disabled veterans with home repairs and modifications.

Moreover, living in Nevada, I've witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of wildfires and other natural disasters on our communities. I'm particularly drawn to the organization's focus on helping these communities prepare for and recover from such events. I believe that my strategic planning skills and my experience in project management could be valuable in this aspect of the organization's work.

I'm excited about the possibility of contributing to an organization that is making a real difference in our community, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with the board and the rest of the Rebuilding Together Northern Nevada team.
