At Senior Village in SaddleBrooke, we often celebrate the nearly 400 volunteers who generously give their time to assist those in need. These compassionate individuals deliver the SaddleBag Notes, provide transportation, companionship and countless other services to support the community and members of our Senior Village. However, today, we want to shine a spotlight on a special group of volunteers who often work behind the scenes: the Senior Village Board of Directors.
This dedicated group includes David Bull, Diane Demeroutis, David Eisenhauer, Carol Kiker (Chair), Kurt McMillan, John O’Brien, Greg Poling (Vice Chair) and Bonnie Westra. Additionally, Mardie Toney, a former Chair, continues to serve as an emeritus member. Together, they embody the heart of leadership at Senior Village, working tirelessly to guide the organization and ensure its success.
The Board of Directors meets monthly, taking on the critical responsibilities of overseeing the financial health of Senior Village, setting staff priorities and developing thoughtful policies that steer the organization forward. Their work requires foresight, collaboration and a deep commitment to the Village’s mission. While their contributions may not always be visible, their impact is immeasurable. By creating a strong organizational foundation, the board ensures that Senior Village can fulfill its mission of matching volunteers with neighbors in need.
Board members often work without fanfare or recognition, but their efforts make it possible for Senior Village to thrive. They tackle complex issues, make tough decisions and provide invaluable support to the Executive Director, who deeply appreciates their wisdom and guidance.
“It’s an honor to work with such a committed and talented group,” says the Executive Director. “Their dedication to our mission and their willingness to volunteer their expertise and time inspire everyone involved with Senior Village.”
A Heartfelt Thank YouTo our board members, past and present: Thank you for your hard work, your dedication and your unwavering belief in the power of community. You are the backbone of Senior Village, ensuring its mission endures and grows stronger with each passing year.
If you see one of these board members around SaddleBrooke, take a moment to thank them. Their leadership is a testament to the spirit of volunteerism that makes Senior Village such a special part of our community.
