Meet Our Team

Board of Directors

Bob Massey
President

“I always hear people talk about "giving back". That's not my motivation. I believe in doing the right thing because it's right not because of what has been done for me. If I can help these people, I will do everything in my power to do so. NHN is the tool for me to be able to help those who cannot help themselves.”

—Bob Massey

Reid Conklin
Vice President & Communications

“I am proud to be a part of Neighbors Helping Neighbors and work with outstanding colleagues who have servant’s hearts for those in need in our community. We work together as a team to help those with critical, one-time needs—needs that aren’t able to be fully addressed by any other organization in either Greene or Putnam County.”

— Reid Conklin

Shannon Osborne
Member

“NHN is a vision come true. Our vision was to develop a vehicle that would provide much needed assistance to individuals and families of Greene and Putnam counties that needed a hand-up, by filling a void that wasn’t being addressed. NHN leverages partnerships with individuals and community organizations to identify and address life changing needs. I am proud and privileged to be a small part of that vision.”

— Shannon Osborne

"Neighbors Helping Neighbors does an exceptional job of reaching out to children and families in our community who need a hand-up, and because of that I've made my involvement in NHN a high priority in my life.”

— Rob Mitchell

David Nicholson
Treasurer

“I joined NHN after learning about the mission of the organization and the needs in our community. The evolution of the organization this year has reinforced my respect for the Founders and the organization’s current leadership.”

— David Nicholson

Howard Goldstein
Project Manager Chair

“I am involved with Neighbors Helping Neighbors because we have an immediate impact and improve the lives of the people we serve. This quote sums up my feelings: ‘Helping one person might not change the world but it could change the world for one person.’ - Anonymous.”

—Howard Goldstein

Beth Thomas
Member

"As a lifelong resident of Greene County, it’s been very touching to see the many direct, positive impacts Neighbors Helping Neighbors has had on so many families in our community. With the help of NHN members, I look forward to helping identify even more needs and improving even more lives."

— Beth Thomas

Charlotte Engel
Membership Chair

Neighbors Helping Neighbors has captured my passion for helping those who are struggling in their daily lives. People in need can feel more comfortable, hopeful, successful and safer with simple things such as a child having its own bed, a solid roof over their heads, a functioning bathroom or a repaired car to provide transportation to school, work or doctors. NHN does that and that’s why I’m proud to be part of this organization.

— Charlotte Engel
