Episcopal Relief and Development (ERD) is pleased to announce the addition of three new members to its Board of Directors.
Nelson Famadas from Province IX, Diocese of Puerto Rico, Teri Lawver, Province II, Diocese of New Jersey and The Rev. Luther Ott, Province IV, Diocese of Mississippi each bring a wealth of experience to their new role as board members.
“The new members demonstrate considerable talent and personal commitment to the church in support of the mission of Episcopal Relief and Development,” said the Rt. Rev. Harry B. Bainbridge III, Chair of ERD’s Board. “I look forward to their contributions to the important work before us.”
“We welcome Mr. Famadas, Ms. Lawver and The Rev. Ott to the Episcopal Relief and Development family,” said Robert W. Radtke, President of ERD. “Their contribution as board members is vital to the success of our work.”
The three new board members are Episcopalians active in their congregations, professions and volunteer organizations. Mr. Famadas is a retired finance executive who serves on the board of various civic and charitable organizations in Puerto Rico and Florida.
Ms. Lawver is General Manager of the Animas Corporation, a Johnson & Johnson company, where she is leading the effort to implement a plan to transform diabetes standards of care across all Johnson & Johnson companies.
The Rev. Luther Smith Ott was ordained to the priesthood in 1998 after a successful career in law. He serves as the volunteer chaplain for Stewpot Community Services and is the volunteer Camp Director of Camp Coast Care; an ERD supported Hurricane Katrina recovery center located in Long Beach, Mississippi.
“Episcopal Relief and Development is honored to welcome these extraordinary individuals who have offered their time and talent and are willing to serve on our Board of Directors,” continued Radtke.
