Last Thursday our organization elected new leaders to continue building the Uncompahgre Valley Alliance. Thank you to our members who showed up for this notable moment — we know it has been a busy start to summer! Meet the new team:

MEL McKELVEY

Chair

“It is a joy to be able to use my experience and passionate support of community organizing, to help move forward those initiatives that will provide the greatest positive impact to the lives of our community members.”

JOHN ENGLISH

Communications Chair

“I believe that good communication — both within our organization and with our broader community — is essential. I’ll help our Alliance offer clear, insightful, and relevant information to everyone.”

KENDRA STUCKI

Membership Chair

“Building a solid membership that will support the Alliance mission is both empowering to those members and the leadership team as we continue to grow our organization.”

LAURA BAKER

Fundraising Chair

“We need money to bolster our initiatives! We live in a place with money, we just need to go get it.”

BOBBIE KUNS

Treasurer

“Somebody has to keep the books!”

Congratulations to these members for their commitment to our Alliance and the health of our affiliate. We are looking forward to seeing you in your roles!
