Tahoe Fund expands board of directors
The Tahoe Fund announced Monday the election of Kevin Marshall, Pete Sonntag and Julie Motamedi Teel to its board of directors. The three new members each bring a strong commitment and love of the Lake to their positions.
They are charged with helping the organization expand its impact by growing support of environmental improvement projects that will restore and enhance the Tahoe environment.
“With these new board members we are adding even more resources to our already fantastic board of directors,” said Tim Cashman, Chair of the Board. “While each brings their own unique strengths to the organization, they all share a tremendous commitment to the Lake and a history of working hard to achieve goals.”
Marshall is the President of Clear Capital, based in the North Lake Tahoe and Reno region. As a major employer in North Lake Tahoe, Marshall is committed to preserving the mountain environment that he has called home since the late 1990s for his family and his employees.
Sonntag is the Chief Operating Officer of Heavenly Mountain Resort, owned by Vail Resorts, Inc. In the ski industry, he has an extraordinary 30 year track record of developing innovative on-mountain programming and delivering extraordinary guest experiences. He is excited to continue Vail’s commitment to the environment through active support of the Tahoe Fund.
Teel has been a corporate officer for Lakehouse Mall Property Management since 1998, and is a founding member of the Truckee Tahoe Community Foundation. She has a long history of volunteerism and service to the Tahoe community as a former member of the TRPA governing board, Tahoe Maritime Museum, and philanthropic supporter of various causes.
Founded in 2010, the Tahoe Fund is charged with inspiring the private community to support environmental improvement projects that will help restore lake clarity, improve outdoor recreation, and inspire greater stewardship in the region. Projects include new segments of the Lake Tahoe Bikeway; high priority watershed restoration projects such as the Blackwood Creek/Eagle Rock Trail restoration on the West Shore and the Incline/3rd Creek Restoration on the North Shore; Aquatic Invasive Species projects to remove Asian clams and weeds from the Lake; and environmental improvements at Sand Harbor, Van-Sickle Bi-State Park and Washoe Meadows State Park.
