Our Board

Judy was raised in Southern NH and went to UNH for 2 years.  She then moved to NYC at 20 to seek her fortune.  Married at 22, she moved to Boston for 5 years while her husband attended Northeastern.  Returning to NYC, she finished college at Hunter and began working at a not-for-profit housing organization on the Upper West Side.  This was her introduction to local government and advocacy.  From there she moved to NH and worked at the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority as an asset manager.  Joining the private sector, she worked as an Executive Property Manager in Boston, New Hampshire and Maine and finished her career as Director of Housing at MCH Inc. in Rockland.  Upon retiring in 2014, she has filled her time with volunteer work – first with Neighbor to Neighbor, the town communication committee, then Jackson Memorial Library, and the housing committee of the St. George CDC.  She has found working in this community very rewarding and fulfilling.  

Van feels blessed to be living in the Tenants Harbor community.  She is employed at Penobscot Bay Medical Center as the Coordinator of Rehabilitation and as a Physical Therapist.  She has volunteered for many organizations in Union and the SAD 40 community; taught Sunday school at the People’s United Methodist Church, and volunteered on the church’s discipleship committee and assisted at many church functions. Her volunteer work at the SAD 40 schools consisted of volunteering in classrooms and coaching a Destination Imagination Team that represented Maine 3 times at an International event in Tennessee.  She also was the Coordinator of Project Graduation.  She has been involved in fundraising for The Ronald McDonald House, The Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital and the Maine Children’s Cancer Program.  Van enjoys being involved in a community, and receives more than she gives when volunteering for community organizations

Beth and her husband moved to Tenants Harbor full time in 2020, following 15 years of splitting  their time between Providence, RI and Round Pond, Maine. Beth was raised in Douglaston Manor, NY and summered in Marion, MA and coastal Maine. She received a BA in Fine Arts from UNH, followed by several decades of working in the arts in NYC. She has three grown boys and one grandchild. Her volunteer background is extensive, spanning from serving as a Big Apple Greeter, NYC, and NYC school volunteer to currently serving on the Board of Helping Hands of Round Pond. She is a committee member of the Andrew Robinson Homestead in St. George, a property owned by the St. George Historical Society and also devotes time to the St. George Municipal School. Beth joined Neighbor to Neighbor as a driver in 2022 and looks forward to serving in a deeper capacity as a Board member. 

Del’s parents bought an old farmhouse overlooking Turkey Cove in 1942. Carefree summers were spent barefoot and living off the wilds of nature. Clams and mussels were abundant and easy to gather for an evening meal. She built her present home in 2005 and moved from Lincoln, MA to Maine in 2015. Del was among some of the first nurse practitioners in psychiatric nursing. She was a Home Care nurse for over 15 years. Coming from a long line of strong maternal leaders, she adds six of her own:  2 daughters and 4 granddaughters. 

She has been involved with many community events, including the Library Literary Series and the Health subcommittee of the CDC. Her involvement with N2N began in 2016 when N2N became a nonprofit group.

Jenny grew up here in St. George, a descendant from one of the first settlers of the Town and Community of St. George. Like a lot of young adults, her career ambitions took her away, but she knew that someday she would return. When she and her husband happily returned in 2016, having lived in Massachusetts since 1984, they pledged to volunteer to support the Community. In her professional career as a managing paralegal in a small law office in Natick, Massachusetts, she applied her strong administrative and organizational skills to deliver efficient workflows, business processes, and team spaces. She enthusiastically brought those skills to the Board of Neighbor to Neighbor.  She has also been able to contribute to the St. George Community Food Pantry, the St. George Historical Society archival records, and with the refresh and organization of the Robinson Homestead, a property of the St. George Historical Society. She has always admired and supported the role of N2N in the community and the need it fulfills. She is glad for the opportunity to join the Board.

Michael B. Jordan practiced law in Philadelphia for forty years.  He has lived in St. George since his retirement in 2015, but has spent several weeks a year here for ten years before that.  He has served on the St. George Planning Board since 2017 and also served on the board of the Jackson Memorial Library for four years, two of them as president.

Recreational activities include an unpaid position as doorman for a cat named Annie, cooking for friends, eating their cooking, eating out with friends (notice a pattern here?), talking books, playing bridge whenever possible, and taking in the occasional Portland Sea Dogs game.
