I moved to Pittsburgh in 1999 after spending a few years in Boston. For almost all of my time in Pittsburgh I've lived in the Slopes near St. Paul of the Cross Monastery. Currently I share my house with two cats (Sonny and Minuit) and one dog (Agatha Christie or Aggie for short). Professionally, I work for UPMC in a non-clinical role. I love my neighborhood and I'm looking forward to becoming a more involved member of the community through the Brashear Association.

JOIN OUR BOARD
Members of The Brashear Association’s Board of Directors serve as strategic partners to the Executive Director, providing governance, insight, advocacy, and accountability to ensure the organization remains firmly grounded in its mission while advancing its strategic priorities. Board members play a vital role in strengthening Brashear’s impact, expanding its reach, and helping position the organization for long-term sustainability and growth.
Board development is an ongoing priority, and recruitment will continue on a rolling basis as the Association seeks to fill three additional Board seats with individuals who bring diverse perspectives, professional expertise, community connections, and a shared commitment to Brashear’s mission.
This is an especially important moment in the Association’s history. Two transformational initiatives—the CAPS project and the Hilltop Community Market—will require strong Board leadership, active engagement, advocacy, and support. In recognition of these opportunities, and to support the successful integration of new Board members, the Board has agreed to meet every other month through the remainder of the fiscal year. This enhanced meeting schedule is intended to strengthen communication, deepen engagement, and maintain momentum around the organization’s most significant priorities.
Board meetings are typically held in person in the conference room at the Brashear CARES Center, with a hybrid participation option available. The Board currently operates through three standing committees: Executive and Governance, Finance and Audit, and Nominating. Fundraising committees are established on an ad hoc basis and convene as needed to support specific initiatives and organizational goals.
Individuals interested in Board service are invited to submit a completed application, a letter of intent, a résumé or curriculum vitae, and two professional or community references. The letter of intent should describe the candidate’s interest in serving on The Brashear Association’s Board of Directors and highlight relevant experience, including service on boards, committees, work groups, or community initiatives; volunteer involvement; professional or civic memberships; and work with nonprofit or community-based organizations.
Board service at Brashear is an opportunity to help shape the future of a trusted community institution, advance meaningful initiatives, and contribute leadership that creates lasting impact for individuals and families throughout the Hilltop communities.
