Wings of Hope is happy to announce some recent personnel changes among our staff and board members.
In March, we welcomed Brittni Snidle as our new director of development and communications. Snidle replaced Holly Berthold who is now director of philanthropy, a new role focused on major gifts. Snidle comes to us with over 10 years’ experience in nonprofit communications and development from Kids in the Middle, Queen of Peace Center and, most recently, Christian Brothers College High School. She holds a master’s degree in public relations from Webster University. Before entering the nonprofit field, she worked in radio for Emmis Communications and at a public relations firm in Clayton.
Last October, Lee Ann Nolte joined Wings of Hope as our new education programs manager in charge of leading our SOAR into STEM program. Nolte’s prior experience includes 18 years teaching high school math and working in several roles at Trans World Airlines.
Wings of Hope also promoted Angela Walleman to vice president and director of programs and Lena Pak to director of administration.
The Wings of Hope Board of Directors elected two new members at its March 2024 meeting.
Larry Dalton is a retired sales and marketing executive and former business owner in the HVAC industry. His 45-year career includes forming Classic Aire Care in 2000, which grew into one of St. Louis’s largest residential service and replacement contractors with nearly 200 full- time employees.
Dana Steffey is president and CEO of Secure Data Technologies, Inc. A US Air Force veteran who served 12 years working in advanced avionics and electronic warfare, Steffey spent a large portion of his career stateside but also traveled to Desert Shield and Desert Storm in the ‘90s. After his military career, Steffey earned his stripes in enterprise space learning from industry giants such as Lockheed Martin, Seagate, GE Capital and AT&T before founding Secure Data Technologies 16 years ago.
Other board changes include the election of David Agee as new chairman and Patrick Bowen as vice chairman. With immense gratitude, we also said good-bye to three board members: Cameron Conway, Nikki Bodie and Dr. Rollin Jackson.
