Jessica Horsley, Board Member
Hidden Villa Ranch, Branch Controller
Jessica has a broad perspective as a Board Member; she is able to balance the challenging business processes with the realistic situations of the foundation. She has a true desire to be connected to our families and kids and truly understand what they are experiencing, how best to support them with what they need, and then making it a reality. Further, with her organization and creativity as the current Golf Chair she has sustained the golf event to be a sell-out event.
In Jessica’s words: “We can’t cure cancer, we can’t alter their diagnosis, and we can’t predict how their journey might end. And so it’s because of those things we CAN’T do that makes doing what we CAN do so much more important.”
