2022 Corporate Board of Directors
503-214-8346 ml5447@gmail.com Tom was gladly roped into this position. He has watched Binky Patrol evolve from the first day in 1996. Although he's capable of making binkies, he prefers to make deliveries, take care of the banking, shipping and offer troubleshooting support when chapters try to make it too complicated. His advertising and marketing background has come in handy with regard to promoting Binky Patrol and direct volunteer hours and projects to have the greatest outcome with the least amount of effort. 949-222-2268 berndtcarolyn@gmail.com Her children are grown and she has her time divided between running her family business and volunteering at the Pacific Marine Mammal Center. 603-799-1127 newenglandbinkypatrol@gmail.com dmserra2@juno.com
Susan Finch, Founder/President
sfinch@binkypatrol.org
Susan came from an advertising and public relations background. After an attempt at retail, she was ready to get back into Public Relations. On the way, she spent an afternoon "making up" Binky Patrol. It was a concept that embodied what her mother had taught her. When you are feeling badly for yourself or it's not going your way, get out of yourself and do something for others.
Susan had also been attempting to volunteer for local battered women's shelters but found their scheduled volunteer work and training to be impossible while she was working 14 hour days in retail. She needed a solution to allow her to volunteer.
She figured that others had this same problem so she created an organization that would welcome anyone with a kind heart and some time - as it fit their schedule.
Since 2000, Susan has a full-time podcast production company, Funnel Media Group and her marketing business, Susan Finch Solutions.
Miriam Siegel, Vice President/Director
Miriam was one of the first four original volunteers. She has always understood the Binky Patrol vision. She has gone through several growth spurts and jumped in in any capacity that was needed to keep things running smoothly.
Her heart is 100% binky.She is a daily example of giving just to give and not to receive a thank you in return.
Thomas Finch, Treasurer/Director
Carolyn Berndt, Public Relations/Director
Carolyn came to Binky Patrol originally to help with deliveries. As we all became hooked on her outlook, humor and willingness to help, her efforts expanded rapidly into public relations and support for schools and scout troops taking on Binky Patrol as a major project or event.
Marlys Vaughan, Chapter Development/Director - Web Support
Marlys has an extensive background in higher education administration and budget management. She teaches crocheting and other crafts classes, and has been volunteering her services in website support for the Binky Patrol since June 2005. She makes and donates afghans, quilts and fleece blankets to the Binky Patrol and makes and donates pet blankets to her local animal shelters. She enjoys volunteering her time to help make a difference in people’s lives and enjoys using her creative talents to create items that comfort children in need and animals in distress.
Donna Serra, Director
Donna managed to not only raise funds for Binky Patrol the first few years, she also gave of her own time to support and welcome each new chapter and send out blankets and bears to anyone who contacted her. She was a one woman chapter for a number of years. Her heart is 100% Binky! We are blessed to have her.
