Martin Volunteers has announced the leadership of its advisory board for 2007-08. 

Eric Kiehn of C&W Computers will once again serve as board president. The new vice president is Tom Weiksnar, an attorney with the law firm of Gary, Williams, Parenti, Finney, Lewis, McManus, Watson, Sperando. Donna Alexander, a community volunteer, will serve as secretary.

Other leadership positions include the following chairmen and women:

• Retired and Senior Volunteer Program/Agency Relations: Harry Pelton and Roger Jesse.

• Marketing: Tom Weiksnar.

• Leadership: Marie Dubois.

•  Corporation Volunteer Council: Rhonda Irons.

• Disaster: Jim Dudziak and Mim Huffam.

• White Doves Holiday Project – Tom and Lisa Haley.

The Haleys are entering their busy time of year, as planning for the White Doves Holiday Project is under way. Over the years, the massive project brings the entire community together to supply thousands of families in need with food and toys at the holidays.

“The leadership of this board is forging partnerships that will hopefully make civic engagement a common expectation and wonderful experience in Martin County,” said Carol Hodnett, director of Martin Volunteers. “People are anxious to be engaged, and we are the connector to make that happen.”

Martin Volunteers is a program of United Way of Martin County. It conducts several major projects every year -- such as the White Doves Holiday Project, Executive Service Corps and the School Supplies for Students Drive -- but its main focus is connecting people with meaningful volunteer opportunities.
