Two Volunteers Continue Work with AC by Joining Board of Directors
The
Board of Directors welcomed two new members, Brianna Herron and Melissa Del Balzo, both who have volunteered with Abby's Closet over the past several years.
Melissa Del Balzo is delighted to join the Board of Directors. Empowering and instilling confidence in young women brought her to Abby's Closet, where she has experience helping at the Holiday Tea, the Prom Dress Giveaway, and picking up donations at drop off sites. Melissa is a long-time youth basketball coach, has served others at local food banks and gives back to her career in hospitality. She loves spending time with her family and friends, is an avid sports fan, and enjoys cooking. Melissa is Market Sales Manager at AC & Element Hotels in Beaverton. She will focus on PR and marketing, drop off sites, and community partnerships for Abby's Closet.
Brianna Herron works for an event planning company where she helps to execute in-person and digital events across the country. She is looking forward to helping with the continued and future growth of Abby's Closet and strongly believes in the mission of the organization. Previously she volunteered at the Prom Dress Giveaway and also attended as a student, finding a dress for her junior prom. She is excited to bring her events and marketing background to the Board and be a part of the growth and operations of the organization. Brianna will focus on event planning and sponsorships and fundraising on the Board.
The Board of Directors is responsible for setting the vision and direction of the organization and are excited to have Melissa and Brianna help with this as well as the day-to-day operations.
