Helming the Helping People Succeed Foundation Board will be: Bonney Johnson (Chair), Mary Rose Bressman (Vice Chair), Claire Nash (Secretary), Steven Shultz (Treasurer) and Beth Prinz (Past Chair).
Members are Heidi Bosley, Dale Forbes and Shaun Kogut.
Bosley and Forbes are new to Helping People Succeed.

Dale Forbes worked in the Boston home office of Liberty Mutual for almost 38 years and is now retired. After serving in a variety of mostly operational accounting managerial positions, he spent the final ten years as a manager focused on enhancing Liberty Mutual’s global reinsurance credit risk management.
Outgoing board chairs Bliss Browne and Beth Prinz were recognized for their years of service to Helping People Succeed as well as outgoing board member Noel Bobko.
The boards confirmed their commitment to raising funds needed to complete their capital campaign – Building Futures, Changing Lives – to purchase Helping People Succeed’s building on Braille Place in Jensen Beach, build and maintain a reserve account and establish a true endowment to ensure future financial security for the nonprofit.
The board, staff and volunteers are thankful to a community that supports their mission… Helping People Succeed transforms lives by realizing potential, creating hope and building futures through education, counseling, training and employment.
