Jason Lane
Jason Lane was elected to be the board’s Vice President. Jason is a financial advisor with Vance Wealth and is actively involved in his church and community.

New members joined the board: Cindy Marks, Kevin Petrie, and Renée Roqué.

She participated in FP Holiday events, served families who spent nights at Valencia UMC, and helped furnish the transitional house and Resource Center, and with her husband, Dirk, supported Box City events in various ways. Cindy is a strong believer in Family Promise’s mission. She especially appreciates their work helping families avoid homelessness using donated resources and diversion. She is a business owner with Photo Coach that helps busy people save and organize their photos and family memories and share them in meaningful ways. She is looking forward to being part of an organization that changes painful stories into ones of hope and success.
