CVCSF Welcomes New Board

Just after Thanksgiving, the ConVal Community Scholarship Foundation (CVCSF) chapter of Dollars for Scholars® held its annual board meeting and member reception at the Nubanusit Neighborhood’s Common House in Peterborough, hosted by Founder Sue Chollet.

As its first order of business, the board said farewell to Timothy Kolk, outgoing treasurer and executive committee member who had given 3 ½ years of extraordinary volunteer service to the foundation. In his place the board unanimously elected Sandy Bibace of Peterborough, whose career includes controller for SDE, financial manager for SoftLanding Systems and now as a QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor. William Kennedy, also of Peterborough, was elected president of the board.

Kennedy recently retired as chief operations officer after merging his 15-year old local robotics business startup, MobileRobots, with California-based Adept Technology, Inc. Outgoing President Philip Grisafi remains on the board and will continue as a valuable member of the CVCSF’s awards committee. Rounding out the executive team, VP and Secretary James Callahan agreed to serve an additional year in those capacities.

The CVCSF is a 501(c)3 non-profit chapter of Dollars for Scholars® that awards financial help and future hope to Contoocook Valley High School grads as they pursue post-secondary education in the face of extraordinary challenges. The CVCSF is seeking additional volunteer help, as well as donations. Anyone interested in contributing to this compelling cause, please contact KennedyMRI [at] gmail [dot] com.
