Dr. Taddonio joined the Foundation’s Board in February 2007. In his nine years on the Board, he has served on the Strategic Planning Committee and chaired the Nominating Committee.


“Bill Taddonio has been an asset to the Board not only with his vast professional experience in the medical field, but through his passion for people and all things health and wellness,” said Dave Kraybill, Foundation President. “His dedication and leadership has helped guide the Foundation in fulfilling its mission of motivating people to adopt healthy lifestyles.”


Debbie Zelle joined the Foundation’s Board in March 2014. In her two years on the Board, Debbie has served on the Grants and Marketing & Communications Committees.


“Debbie has been an integral part of the Foundation’s Board, bringing years of experience as a school nurse to the table as well as a love of the community,” Kraybill said. “Her unique insight into the world of health and wellness has been a guiding force as we strive to help the communities we serve make healthier choices.”


As of July 1, 2016, Art Green remains in the role of Board Chairman as does Myra Forrest in the role of Vice Chairman. Matt Cappelletti will continue in the role of Treasurer and Dr. Keith Harrison in the role of Secretary. Todd Alderfer will also continue serving as “member-at-large” of the Executive Committee.
