Bob Hicks, Out-going Chair
I have a public relations/marketing communications background, and am a lifelong volunteer. I’ve lived in the Como Park area since 1996, and I’m gratified to have the opportunity to use my skills and knowledge on behalf of COMOCONNECTS and its vital, life-enhancing mission.

Pam Van Zyl York, Sect.
As a member of the Board of Directors of COMOCONNECTS, I have been able to contribute to my community and support an organization that is making a difference for older adults. As a public health professional, I know the importance of community organizations in linking people with the continuum of services they need. I appreciate the opportunity to contribute my knowledge and skills in helping the organization grow and continue to meet the ever-changing needs of our neighbors.

Mary Nienaber, Treasurer
I am a Roseville resident and a retired HR professional. I earned an MA in HR from the U of MN many moons ago, and spent my working life in health care and higher education. I am excited about finding ways I can contribute to the organization as the mission is so near and dear to my heart.

Nancy Houlton, Board Member
I am honored to serve on the board of COMOCONNECTS. The commitment to strengthening client resilience on multiple levels, physical, social and emotional well being within the community called to me. I bring my years of experience in behavioral health organization to the board and in turn am filled by stories of how we have a positive impact for our neighbors.

I have been in that role for ten years and at the agency for 17 years. My educational background is in Public Administration. I have lived in Como since 2004. I am thrilled to be part of this terrific organization.
