Retired Elementary School Teacher

Why did you decide to join the board?

One child, one situation, one hug at a time all add up to supporting many. The Shepherd's Home supplies what so many take for granted - a loving, supportive, caring home. After working with children living in the care of the home, giving back was a natural progression.

“It’s the right thing to do”. It takes a village to raise a child. To survive in the mountains and to thrive in our small community collaboration is key. I feel blessed to be able to give back, to volunteer, to play a small part in the lives of the next generation.

After adopting a child from foster care 19 years ago, I wanted to continue to support children in the same situation. I felt called to give to our community through the Sheperd's Home. "Just assume the answer to every question is compassion" Gregory Boyle (Tattoos on the Heart).

Tricia Stromberg

Treasurer

Retired Boeing Engineer and Associate Technical Fellow

Why did you decide to join the board?

I volunteer with Shepherd’s Home because I deeply believe in their mission. Fulfillment of the mission requires a strong financial basis. My professional and philanthropic experience have given me skills that I can apply to the shared oversight of the SHF endowment funds. One of my favorite quotes is by Winston Churchill: “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
