Meet Our Board President
Heather is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ with Edward Jones in Grass Valley and is passionate about making a positive impact in people's lives. Since moving to Nevada County in 1993, Heather has been devoted to service and leadership with many non-profits. She is currently on the boards of Rotary Club of Grass Valley and P.E.O Chapter VJ. She also serves on the Advisory Committee for the Crown Pointe Venues with InConcert Sierra, the Fund Development Committee with Hospice of the Foothills, and is an active member of Soroptimists International of the Sierra Foothills.
Heather has been married to her high school sweetheart for 40 years, has three grown children and is Nana to one granddaughter. She loves to spend time with family and is drawn to the Sierra Buttes and the northern CA coastline, which reminds her of her childhood on the shores of Maine. She is excited to lead the SNMH Foundation Board and continue the rich legacy of supporting quality healthcare in our county.
