Board of Directors

Ellen McKinney

Director

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.

Why did you decide to join the board?

“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.

Why did you decide to join the board?

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).

Why did you decide to join the board?

I have been a long time supporter of the Shepherd's Home here in McCall. As a former foster care parent, I know first hand how very crucial it is for our community to provide these services for local children in need.

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.”

Jim Dardis

Director

Retired rural Family Physician, starting in McCall in 1987, practicing a full range of outpatient/inpatient/ER/surgical obstetrics with some General Surgery for 27 yrs in McCall, 4 years in Grangeville, 2 years in Cascade, with 2 outstanding Locums Tenens stints of 6 months each in New Zealand (2013 and 2018). My motto, if I had one, was: “To be a successful Family Physician, just treat your patients like family.” I do not have actual numbers, but am guessing I delivered btw 350-450 babies in my 27 years in McCall. What a gift to be involved with that many families!! That was the best part of my professional life.

Why did you decide to join the board?

The Shepherd’s Home fulfills a huge need in McCall. It is a privilege to help to ensure the future of this ministry by working with the Foundation. I was on the initial Bd of Directors with Bill and Dottie Basye during the formation of the Shepherd’s Home, and now that I am retired, I have much more time to give to this Board. I am really looking forward to this opportunity!
