CATCH Recognizes Departing Board Members

CATCH Neighborhood Housing recently bid farewell to two long-time board members, Anne Saunders and Robert J. Lanney, Esq. Ms. Saunders and Atty. Lanney completed their board terms at CATCH’s April meeting of the Board of Directors.

Ms. Saunders, a freelance writer and editor, as well as NH1News’ weekend assignment editor and digital producer, joined CATCH’s board of directors in 2008. In addition to bringing a strong public relations and media background to the organization, she also represented the client perspective as a homeowner through CATCH’s first-time homebuyer programs. She served as board secretary for several years of her term and has been a dedicated ambassador of CATCH’s mission and community impact during her tenure.

Atty. Lanney, Director of Business and Firm Development at Sulloway & Hollis PLLC, has been a longtime CATCH supporter and joined the board in 2007. He served terms as board chair and vice chair, and oversaw much of CATCH’s growth and success in the past few years. Atty. Lanney also provided the board with sound legal advice and perspective in the ever-changing real estate and business world.

CATCH President Rosemary M. Heard said, “Each of us at CATCH thanks Anne and Rob for their tremendous gifts of time, energy and thoughtful leadership during their many years of volunteer service on our board. We will miss their unique insights and are so grateful for their countless contributions to CATCH’s success.”

Also at its April board meeting, CATCH officially welcomed Mr. Ken Koornneef, President of Nobis Engineering, to its Board of Directors. Due to professional reasons, Mr. Koornneef had delayed his board term start date following his election to CATCH’s board last fall.
