KBFPC BOARD OF DIRECTORS Morgan Sicilia, President: I came to Homer 4
years ago with a background in Multicultural Studies, Social Psychology
and Education. I am currently employed at The Center where I have
been working with local youth and families to promote healthy social and
behavioral development. My deep interest in education, youth
outreach, and community involvement drew me towards KBFPC where I was
proudly elected as a board member in June or 2009. Maura Brenin, Vice-President: Maura is the owner of Maura's Cafe in Old Town Homer. She has enjoyed utilizing her culinary gifts to give back to local nonprofits for the past sever years. Her son Asa is a constant course of light and love and inspiration in her life! Melon Purcell, Secretary: I got interested in family planning right out of college. As a volunteer with Planned Parenthood in a small rural New York college town, I finally got to ask, and later answer for others, all the questions that I could not ask at home. It was so good to finally understand my body. Many years later when I moved to Homer, I was introduced to KBFPC by my good friend. I started on the Board back in 1987 and have served ever since because I believe in the mission of KBFPC. It has been very rewarding to be a part of the evolution of the Clinic. When otherwise engaged, I teach first grade at McNeil and encourage my airplane-building husband. For fun, I ride my horse, garden and walk the dogs. Jenny Martin, Treasurer: I have been happily living in Homer since 1993 and was one of the first KBFPC volunteer advocates when they were open only a few nights per week at the little house on Main St. My background includes tourism, social services, youth job training program, accounting, and education. I'm currently working with Big Brothers Big Sisters and as a coordinator for Families First promoting early childhood education in Homer. On occasion I am also an adjunct faculty at Kachemak Bay Campus teaching customer service and professional development courses. I have served on several local and national boards and councils and helped start the Kachemak Kids Early Learning Center here in Homer. Throughout my career, KBFPC has always been a source of positive support, information and resources for the youth I work with. Its a pleasure to volunteer again with this dynamic and vital organization. Carlynn "George" Barrientos: I have been living in Homer with my dog Cartman for three years and work for Food Services of America as the local sales representative. I was immediately drawn to the clinic not only for the work they do but the people that run it. It has been my calling from early on (high school prophecy) to be part of such an organization though it took me until now to find my way. I am motivated by the energy and mission that this clinic services. I appreciate the commitment of the staff as well as my fellow board members and feel honored to serve on the board. Suzanne Bishop: Suzanne Bishop has lived in Homer since 1993 and jumped at the chance to be on the KBFPC board. She worked various jobs for the first few years, then got serious and earned a teaching degree. She's been teaching in the Homer area for the past ten years. A committed educator, Suzanne strongly believes in the mission of KBFPC and in giving back to our community. Elysha Chapple: Bio Coming Soon!!! | |
