Meet the Staff & Volunteers
Lisa Dobey, CEO email
Lisa was hired as the first staff person of the Foundation in 1998. Since that time she has led a knoweldgeable and passionate team committed to building philanthropy. One of Lisa's pleasures is writing about philanthropy in a monthly column in the Sierra Sun. Favorite columns include:
Phebe Bell, Program Officer email
Phebe is the Foundation's direct link with the nonprofit community. She oversees all grantmaking and supports TTCF's initiatives. Her goal is to support nonprofit organizations to meet their missions through in-depth knowledge of community building and the nonprofit sector.
Ed Bokinskie, Office Manager email
The friendly voice of Ed is generally your first introduction to TTCF. Ed is the Foundation's problem-solver. No question is too tough for him. In addition to answering the phones, Ed handles Fund Statements and tax receipts for donors.
Kristi Darzynkiewicz, Controller email
Kristi is our financial whiz, managing the fiscal practices of TTCF. She oversees the daily operations of our finance department and is the liaison between TTCF and its financial partners.
Phyllis volunteered for TTCF as our "non-paid controller" before having to re-locate to Texas in 2007. Fortunately, she (and her family) have returned to Truckee and she now helps with our grants management.
Ann works with donors to ensure their personal philanthropic goals are realized and their giving experience and involvement with the Foundation exceeds expectations.
Alison Schwedner, Collaborative Director email
Alison is responsible for the Community Collaborative of Tahoe Truckee, a regional collaborative comprised of community advocates and service providers who vision and work together to create a safe and healthy environment for children, youth, and families. Visit the Collaborative's website here.
