An emeritus director is an ex officio, non-voting director of the board who holds this title in acknowledgment of long-term dedication to the association. Emeritus directors are former members of the board who completed their full terms. Appointed by QVNA’s president, he or she must be approved by the board of directors. In 2003, QVNA instituted the emeritus director role. In addition to Inez, emeritus directors include: Kathy Conway (Since 2003) Michael Hauptman (Since 2017).
QUEEN VILLAGE QUARTERLY CRIER \\ SPRING 2021
Bainbridge Green’s Truest Friend
A Volunteer of Many Hats
Thank you, Friends of Bainbridge Green Chair Jonathan Rubin for your dedicated service to our community. In 2013, Jonathan co-founded and was named chair of the Friends group, which envisioned a revitalized midway between 3rd and 5th on Bainbridge Street. In 2014, he was elected to a two-year term on QVNA’s Board of Directors. A tireless advocate for transforming Bainbridge Green into a landscaped destination park, Jonathan volunteered countless hours, raised thousands of dollars, and led dozens of improvement projects to make Bainbridge Green a better place for everyone to enjoy.
Since 2019, when he joined QVNA’s board as treasurer, Tom Bonney has epitomized the spirit of community service, volunteering his time and making a positive impact in Queen Village. Tom led planning for the budget that will fund QVNA’s 2021 strategic plan and vision, which will result in new technologies for association management.
A Queen Village resident for 18 years, Jonathan recently stepped away from his volunteer role as he and his wife, Asya, plan their family’s next life chapter outside of the city.
While volunteering his CPA talent on the financials and his elbow grease for community cleanups, Tom also took the reins as QVNA’s representative to the Friends of the South Street Police Mini Station. Recently Tom stepped away from his role on the board but will continue to represent QVNA with the mini station’s Friends Group and support other QVNA initiatives. Thanks, Tom, for everything you do to support our community. ■
