Board Notes In addition to our new staff, we are also pleased to welcome four new board members, joining the board of directors in May. 
Matthew Burrows, a resident of San Carlos, brings over 25 years experience in business and entrepreneurial leadership to the Committee’s board. He is also a long-time Peninsula resident, having grown up in Los Altos. These experiences sparked a lifelong passion for our foothills and knowledge of local geography as a hiking enthusiast. He is the Vice President/Partner of The Stock Answer, a gaming industry consulting firm and administers the memorial scholarship fund in honor of his father, Frank Burrows, a long-time mathematics teacher at East Side Union High School in San Jose. 
Mary Davey returns to the Committee’s Board of Directors after an absence during which she helped steer the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District’s Board of Directors through the coastal expansion campaign. She helped to found the creation of the Open Space District and has been an elected member of their Board since 1994 representing Los Altos Hills, Cupertino, and parts of Sunnyvale and Palo Alto. She has been a member of the Committee for Green Foothills since 1962 and is a past president of the board. We’re so pleased to have her back on the board and to have her leadership on the issues and her help with fundraising! 
Jennifer Hagan, a resident of Palo Alto, runs her own law firm practicing special-izing in start ups, corporate formation, and real estate transactions. She holds a BA from California State University at Chico, a MFA from Emerson College in Boston, and a JD from Santa Clara University School of Law. She previously worked for the Los Gatos City Attorney’s office focusing on land use and planning issues, has served on the Palo Alto’s Park and Recreation Commission for six years (2000–2005), and is an avid equestrienne as a member of the San Mateo County Horsesman’s Association. 
Bill Whitmer, a retired Manufacturing VP at Komag, Inc., serves as Treasurer of the Hidden Villa Board and as a member of the Management Advisory Committee for the San Francisquito Creek Watershed Council. Bill helps seniors as the local coordinator of the Los Altos Tax Aide program and as a computer teacher at Avenidas. Since retirement, he has consulted with a variety of non profits on organizational, financial and strategic planning issues. Hiking the foothills reminds Bill of our responsibility to thoughtfully conserve our precious open space. Published October 2006 in Green Footnotes. Page last updated October 30, 2006. |
