Board of directors
Working parents, grandparents, friends and allies — the Board of Directors dedicates their time to shaping Nassau County.
Clara Miller
President
“It was always my father’s dream to ensure that children in Nassau County had a safe and supportive place to go after school, and he believed that establishing a local Boys & Girls Club was the best way to make that vision a reality.“
Keith Meyer
Vice President
“I am passionate about helping deliver to our county’s youth the Boys & Girls Club mission of enabling all young people to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens.“
Cathy Thiaville
Treasurer
“The Boys and Girls Clubs offers such a unique opportunity for children to be positively influenced in so many different ways; whether that be academics, building general life skills and even providing with the most fundamental needs like food, shelter and a safe place.“
Ann Elizabeth Moser
Vice President
“Every child deserves the chance to dream, grow, and believe in the possibilities ahead. I know firsthand the profound difference that someone who believes in you can make in shaping a person’s life, and I have been fortunate to experience that encouragement myself.“
Joan Sheppard
“Many of today’s youth are not afforded that same opportunity and face more serious challenges both at home and school. Supporting Boys & Girls Clubs offers me a way to give back and provide local youth with opportunities to successfully meet the challenges they face every day.”
Lon Walsh
“As a father, I recognize the importance that leadership and community have on the success of children. It’s important to me to support that kind of growth.”

There is nothing more rewarding than watching children thrive and knowing that you’re created a lasting impact.
Johanna Marlin
“As a mother of two daughters and a longtime mentor to emerging leaders, I have seen firsthand the transformative impact that positive role models and supportive communities can have on a young person’s future. I am passionate about helping the next generation build confidence, discover their strengths, and realize the possibilities that lie ahead.”
Dawn Theodore
“We are able to see in real time the impact our sharing has on the children and their families.
To know that we helped these children reach their full potential, on a full stomach is priceless.”
Michelle Miller
“I believe that providing mentorship, encouragement, and opportunities can change the course of a child’s life, and I am proud to support an organization that is committed to helping children build confidence, develop character, and achieve their dreams regardless of their circumstances.”

Danni McIntyre
“I’ve experienced firsthand, as a parent, the positive impact it can have on a child. From summer camps and sports to educational programs and after-school activities, I’ve always appreciated having a safe, supportive place where kids can learn, stay active, build friendships, and feel part of their community.”
Rick Ambrust
Building a prosperous and beautiful future takes work, time and energy, and I am grateful that I’m able to give the young people of Nassau County the support they need to thrive.
Viorica Weldon
“When I see them, I see the child in me that was offered a chance to come to America, from the middle of nowhere, a little village, in Romania, where I was lucky enough to have a mom committed to help me have a bright future. That’s what we want for these children! A chance for a bright future!”
