CONNIE SANTILLI, Board President

I moved to the Coastside in 2012, and I love hiking the local trails and taking long beach walks.I also enjoy shopping in Half Moon Bay and Pescadero, especially for local art works, and I’m grateful for and supportive of the amazing local farm community. I’ve worked in senior executive roles at firms that focus on improving organization effectiveness.  I am passionate about fostering and advancing diversity and gender equity and serve on the boards of related nonprofits.

DAVID DICKSON

My wife Marla and I came to the Coastside from Oakland in 1996 with our five children, happy to be part of the unique small-town environment that makes this community special. I joined HMB Rotary Club the same year and was president in 2001 and 2002. I served for 18 years as manager of Sewer Authority Mid-Coastside and Coastside County Water District. I look forward to working with Senior Coastsiders, and to enjoying all things outdoors, home brewing, and our expanding tribe of grandchildren.

CHARMION DONEGAN

I moved from San Francisco to the Coastside in 1972 with my husband Mike and our two sons. I had a 30-year career with the local school district, where I held positions from school secretary to administrative assistant to the superintendent. My interests have led to volunteering on many different levels, including the Pumpkin Run, Taste of the Coast and Seniors’ Night Out. I can’t think of a better place for helping our community than Senior Coastsiders. 

 

KERRI DORN

I moved to the coast in 1999, and began working at Nurserymen’s Exchange in Production Management. Living and working on the coast was a great introduction into this great Coastside community of ours which welcomed me with open arms. I am a Certified Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, and Fletcher Pilates Teacher. My specialty is working with the older adult population, and my focus is helping my clients and students to improve their quality of life. With two adult children in college now, I am excited to serve on the Senior Coastsiders Board of Directors and get involved in helping more people in our community and beyond. My personal interests include: cycling, hiking, weightlifting, Pilates, spending quality time with family and friends, and walking our two dogs.

KATHY CONROY

The lure of a small rural coastal town brought our family to the Coastside in 1995. Arriving with two young sons, and knowing no one, I became immediately immersed in the community, joining the Coastside Mothers' Club Board. As my sons grew, so did my volunteer involvement, participating in the Farallone View PTA and Education Fund, HMBHS Grad Night committee,  and Coastside Hope. Over the years, my professional career evolved as well. I left the computer software field and followed my passion, beginning a second career in custom dressmaking. I began volunteering in the kitchen at Senior Coastsiders during the pandemic, and grew to love the organization - both the people and the mission. You can find me behind my sewing machine, gardening, hiking on Montara Mountain and Montara Beach with our dog, and exploring near and far in our camper van.

STEVE KIKUCHI

My wife Jane and I moved to the Coastside in 1985, seeking open space and clean air. We fell in love with the Coastside’s unique small-town quality and the community that is always looking to help one another. I became involved with Senior Coastsiders about 26 years ago, volunteering for Home Rehab Day at their Pumpkin Festival booth. In the process I learned how giving a small bit goes a long way for seniors. I’ve had a landscape architect practice in town for 32 years, and I serve on the HMB Architectural Advisory Committee.

 

ROBIN KIRBY

I have had a home in Half Moon Bay since 2011, and have lived in HMB full time since 2014. I truly love the Coastside community, and I’m on the Board of Senior Coastsiders, Coastside Land Trust, Half Moon Bay History Association and Stanford Coastside Club. My background is in Process Improvement, Project Management and Client Management. As a realtor with Alain Pinel Realtors, I thoroughly enjoy helping clients both buy and sell homes on the Coastside.

WILLIAM LANDRY

My wife and I moved to the coastside almost 30 years ago, as soon as we discovered the ocean, fresh air, and wonderful people on the coast. My career was in information technology, with roles as a management consultant and in IT leadership in biotechnology and other life science companies. I’ve known of Senior Coastsiders for many years and became more involved as one of the volunteer AARP TaxAide team members who, in partnership with the staff at Senior Coastsiders, provide free tax services to seniors each year. I’m thrilled to now be a part of the team that delivers so much to our senior neighbors.

LISA LOPEZ

I recently returned to the Coastside after eight years in the East Bay. I currently work for the City of Half Moon Bay as Administrative Services Director. My love of working with the senior population began with the Elwin Mussell Senior Center in Santa Maria, CA. That experience shaped my 20+ years of experience in public service. My hobbies include reading, watching mindless bad TV and hanging out with my fiancé Steve and my Schnauzer Belichick. I am thrilled to return to the Senior Coastsiders Board and working to keep it such a wonderful community treasure.

 

ANGELA NIEMANN

My husband, Chris Devcich, and I moved from Southern California to the Coastside in 1999. After raising our two older children in LA, we are grateful for the opportunity to raise our two younger daughters in Half Moon Bay. I joined Senior Coastsiders’ Board in 2009, after volunteering  for Taste of the Coast. Following a 20-year advertising career, I now work as a marketing contractor at Google. I earned my MBA in Marketing and Finance from USC and my BA from Georgetown University.

 

APRIL CAMPBELL

My family and I moved to the Coastside in 2008. I've spent most of my career working in the Tech industry, helping companies streamline internal processes with technology. I was first introduced to Senior Coastsiders when I volunteered as a lunch greeter in 2021. In 2022, I volunteered as a computer tutor, where I had the opportunity to work with Seniors one on one. I am inspired by the work Senior Coastsiders does with the community and by the community itself. I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to Senior Coastiders and their mission.
