Thank You to outgoing board members

Rhonda Smith

Rhonda has been a member of HPIC since 2007 and has also had on and off roles with HPIC over her tenure. She stepped in for a second stint as president during a critical time — for the community and for the Board — after the fire.  She has been an absolute force for HPIC. She led the charge on a complete overhaul of the board and its activities, and programming events, as well as helping transition the board to its current form. 

Rhonda has been an incredible leader who has significantly helped honor HPIC’s past while opening the doors for the change and growth that HPIC is currently experiencing.

Julie Schickling

Julie has been a part of HPIC since 2008 and on/off the board since 2009. In the past few years, she has been our secretary, finance, communications, branding, grant writer, and tech committee all in one.  She, Rhonda and Nickie all had a hand in helping transition HPIC to a 501.c3 – but Julie took on the nitty gritty details with handling the IRS during that transition. She is incredibly versatile, was the lead visionary in creating the Corner Bar.

Nickie JOstol

Nickie has been a part of HPIC and on the board since 2009. She is incredibly passionate and a true advocate for HPIC. She has brought her creativity and passion to the many events she helped organize. As an example of her dedication, during COVID,  Nickie went door to door to help ensure all parts of our community had access to and awareness of the COVID vaccine, putting herself at great personal risk.
