Vanessa Hannah - Valley View's First Executive Director

Our mission statement is "Conserving Land, Preserving History and Sharing it with the Community." Initially, we devoted all energy to the first two objectives – acquiring and preserving the land to protect its natural features and history. With that goal accomplished, our focus now turns to sharing this rich asset with our children, friends and neighbors. This was the vision for Valley View from the beginning.

We are elated to have Vanessa Hannah as our first Executive Director. Vanessa is a Milford resident and parent at Pattison Elementary. She started volunteering with Valley View about three years ago. Her professionalism, enthusiasm and personal touch to her work make her the ideal person to fill a much-needed role at this stage of Valley View’s evolution. The many pieces of the complex Valley View puzzle continue to fall into place perfectly.

 Vanessa and others are pursuing child and adult education programs with local schools and other partners such as the Cincinnati Museum Center. And our volunteers are always working on improvements to this land that was farmed in soybeans just five years ago to enhance your experience when you visit.

You can contact Vanessa directly by e-mail at vhannah@valleyviewcampus.org or call her at (513) 218-1098

 

We're Seeking Committee Members and Volunteers

Are you or someone you know feeling the need to give back to your community?  If you're looking for a great opportunity to volunteer in a small organization where you can have a big impact, consider the current opportunities at Valley View.  Now is a very exciting time for us as we transition to a new era in our organization.  Since 2002, we have spent much of our energy obtaining grants and holding fundraisers to secure over $2 million that was needed to buy this land.  Now that we have overcome that hurdle, it's time to start having some fun with the land and realizing the dream many held years ago.

We have a fifteen-member Board of Directors with four vacancies.  We are particularly interested in adding at least one person with a communications and marketing capability and one person with a finance and accounting capability.  But many other talents and skills are needed and welcome.  

Our three standing committees - Outreach, Land Management and Finance - provide great opportunities to meet great people and roll up your sleeves.  These committees are working on several projects we will be undertaking in 2009.  These will be exciting times as we continue to restore our historic barns, develop educational programs and restore habitat on the property.  These committees include several of the original founders of the organization who want new ideas and new energy to take them to the next level. 

If you have an interest in becoming a committee member or volunteer, please contact Vanessa Hannah at vhannah@valleyviewcampus.org or call Vanessa at (513) 218-1098.
