BOARD CANDIDATES
We seek candidates with a primary interest or expertise relevant to our work. External consumers of similar services provided by other organizations are encouraged to apply. Past experience on board or committees of a nonprofit organization is preferred.
Sophie first came into contact with the Conard House at BoardMatch in 2019, and was immediately drawn to both the organization and the passion of fellow board members. She started volunteering with Conard House because she wants to make a difference for this community. Her personal experiences with mental health and social services in San Francisco helped her realize that Conard House fills a need that is unique and so desperately needed.
Outside of Conard House, Sophie also serves as a board member of the SF LGBT Center which is an organization that provides services to LGBT and other marginalized groups in San Francisco. In her professional life, she is an active California CPA who works as a finance and accounting outsourcing consultant at RSM US LLP helping middle market organizations and companies manage their financials. In her “spare” time, Sophie trains contortion and hand-balancing with a dream to one day perform a contortion act.
Dayton joined the Conard House Board of Directors in 2019. After finishing his Ph.D. at the UC Berkeley Physics Department and becoming a Data Scientist, he missed the volunteer work he had done as a student. He had previously volunteered for the Los Angeles Metropolitan Debate League in college and The Compass Project in graduate school. To fill the gap, he went to the San Francisco Board Match to find local non-profits serving people with low incomes. There, he matched with Conard House and 2-1-1 Alameda County, which connects people to the public and private resources available to help them. These organizations share a mission of bringing hope and empowerment to the people they serve.
Outside of work, Dayton writes How to 115, a blog about randomized controlled trials of human health.
A prospective Board candidate can be brought to the attention of the Board by providing his or her name, address, phone numbers and relevant background to Rohan Bafna, Board Chair.
