Simply Living is pleased to announce that two new members have been added to its Board of Directors!
David O’Brien
The first new Board Member is David O’Brien, who joined the Board in February. He has been a member of the Share and Care Time Bank since 2021 and collaborates on various projects. He has lived in central Ohio most of his life and has always taken an interest in sustainable living and topics relating to inclusion & community building, thus leading to memberships in the Mid-Ohio Workers Association and the Humanist Community of Central Ohio.
He is looking forward to planning and running Simply Living events as well as contributing to the newsletter. And we’re hoping to use David’s computer expertise in the management of the Simply Living website.
Paisley Nash-Dooley
The second new Board Member is Paisley Nash-Dooley, who just joined the Board earlier this month. She has been a business member of Simply Living for several years and has volunteered with the organization’s annual Garden Tour, supporting efforts to connect the community with sustainable living practices.
Paisley is the owner of City Folks, a small business focused on helping urban residents grow food and strengthen connections to local food systems. She is also the Founder and Executive Director of Sunbury Urban Farm, where she works to expand access to fresh food, gardening education, and regenerative growing practices.
Through her work and volunteer efforts, Paisley is passionate about strengthening local food systems, supporting community resilience, and making sustainable living more practical and accessible for everyone.
We Are Seeking More Board Members
Simply Living’s Bylaws state that its Board of Directors should consist of between 7 and 13 members, though 7 is a recommended minimum and not a strict requirement. With the addition of David & Paisley, Simply Living’s Board of Directors stands at 6 members. So, we are looking to add at least 1 more member to the Board.
A director must be a member of Simply Living (or be willing to become a member) and must be committed to its mission and willing to actively engage in supporting the organization’s goals. If you would like to become involved with Simply Living as a Director, we would be glad to accept your application. Contact Lenn Black at lenn@simplyliving.org for more information.
