4 Therapeutic Riding Institute, Inc. TRI Governance Our Board of Directors Kathy Corbett, Chair Jeanette Dehus Terri Glenn Jason Johns Chris Koogler Linda Lightcap Heidi McKenna Judy Young Marleen Milkis, Executive Director Advisory Team Rita Cyr, CEO, RMHC Dr. & Mrs. David Novick Lezley Pisone, Development, Muse Machine David A. Saettel, CPA The Board of Directors reflects upon the past 40 years and looks forward to the challenges ahead. Exciting, progressive change is happening within TRI. New leadership has occurred with the 2012 addition of Marleen Milkis as Executive Director. She comes from some well-respected national nonprofit organizations. Her goal is to bring internal structural change and best practices to the TRI program. Marleen began with Board Training in nonprofit governance. A new organizational structure was adopted as a result. We are currently searching for new Board Members from the Dayton business community and from within the TRI family. By bringing diversity of leadership, the organization can grow and accomplish more for those we serve. We would be happy to meet with anyone interested in serving on a TRI committee, or the Board of Directors, to help our organization thrive and grow. Kathy Corbett, Chair
