We strive towards a diverse board, with a range of demographics and skills to serve Geneva Glen with their time, talents, gifts, professional expertise, and love of the Glen! Currently, we are looking for people with experience in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Capital Project Management, Legal or Fundraising experience. Geneva Glen has been fortunate to have more high quality candidates than Board seats available. We may not be able to accommodate everyone who is interested in contributing as a Board member at this time.

Committee meetings will vary, but generally meet two to four times per year (each committee is different). On average, you can expect to spend two to four hours per week involved in board-related activities. We anticipate fundraising and camp family engagement will be a significant part of the work for every Board member.
Fundraising Commitment:
Every board member is expected to make a cash donation, as distinguished from in-kind contributions of time and resources, on an annual basis.

Chair
Board Member since 2018I have been privileged to be associated with Geneva Glen for more than 35 years. It is a remarkable place that provides a magical environment for children to develop a sense of self and self-confidence. I have been a camper, staff member, camper parent, and am now in my second round of contributing on the Board. As a professional in the human service and non-profit world, I am excited to work with such a great team of Board Directors and staff, who are committed to providing campers a positive experience, maintaining the sustainability of our property and forest, and strengthening our diversity and inclusiveness. I look forward to celebrating our 100th Anniversary in 2022, and ensuring GG’s prosperity for the next 100 years.
Stephanie Fishkin Kiley
Vice Chair
Board Member since 2014My membership on the board is the culmination of my 35 year relationship with Geneva Glen. I started as a camper in 1980, worked for camp in 1988-1989, and now send my sons to camp. For me, to sit on the board of an organization that I hold so close to my heart was the next logical step. Returning to Geneva Glen in a more active role camp represents a sort of homecoming. I am excited to offer my real world experiences and help shape the direction of camp as we look towards camp’s 100th anniversary and sustainability for the next 100 years.
John Arigoni
Treasurer
Board Member since 2018Geneva Glen is one of the foundational pillars upon which I have built my life. My 10 years as a camper and 4 years as a staff member are truly some of my fondest memories. My time as a camper taught my the value of outright honesty, open-mindedness, and the immeasurable worth of building true friendships. As a staff member, I became fascinated with the inner workings of GG and its consequent impact on youth development. From horseback to high on the ropes course, the programming at GG unleashes one's inner-child (regardless of age) and provides a safe and supportive environment in which anyone is comfortable being themselves. I am proud to serve on the GG board and do my part to continue GG's genuinely life-changing experience.
Andrew Todd
Secretary
Board Member since 2018Of all of the incredible experiences that I had as a camper and counselor at Geneva Glen, perhaps the greatest thing that camp revealed to me was my incredible wife (we walked together through the magical Native American hoop ceremony during American Heritage!!!). As our two daughters grew up, we sang camp songs to help them get to sleep and now, they contently dream about each next summer in their happy place. I am beyond honored to have the opportunity to serve as a board member of this magical place as we approach GG’s 100th anniversary, helping to chart its future while honoring its incredible past.

Engagement & Development Committee Chair
Board Member since 2020A highlight of several of my summers in the 90s was packing my gigantic duffle bag to head to camp at Geneva Glen. My stomach still turns with excitement when I turn onto Parmalee Gulch Road. Now, I hope to bring my professional experience in communications and fundraising to ensure the camp magic is available to many generations to come.
Dan Goldhamer
Stewardship Committee Co-Chair
Board Member since 2016I am incredibly lucky that Geneva Glen has been a part of my life. The lessons I learned, friends I made (including my incredible wife Sara Hazel) and memories from my camper and staff days are truly one of the treasures of my life. I attended Geneva Glen as a camper in the 90’s and had 5 amazing years on staff in the 2000s. It was at camp where I developed my love of the outdoors and gratitude for the what magic and imagination can bring into the lives of children. I am incredibly honored that I now have the opportunity to give back in a different way to camp as a board member and humble steward for Geneva Glen.
Jeanne LaFleur Mondrus
HR / Risk Management Chair
Board Member since 2014I grew up at Geneva Glen, starting at the ripe age of five. I often tell people that I learned as much from GG as I did from my own parents. The camp bond between my siblings and me is a gift I can never repay. I'm thrilled to contribute as a board member, supporting the unmatched programs and relationships for future generations. I'm thankful my three young boys have Geneva Glen to guide them in discovering their true self and allowing them to just be a kid in the Colorado outdoors.

Board Member since 2020Geneva Glen has been a part of my life since the age of twelve. It remains a powerful building block in the development of my character, instilling integrity, confidence, and a strong desire to serve others in both my career and personal life. Watching my daughter experience the Magic of The Glen has only strengthened my desire to give back to this amazing organization. I am incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to serve as a board member, and to add my experience to best prepare Geneva Glen for the next 100 years.
