Charles joined the board in 2017 and currently serves as Vice President.
Charles resides in Olathe, KS with his wife Vicki, 2 boys and their spouses, and 4 grandchildren. One of their greatest joys is seeing their family involved in various humanitarian efforts, both locally and internationally.
Lana considers it a great honor to be co-founder and Secretary of the IHB board. She brings a wealth of experience in business management and accounting to the organization.
Lana takes immense joy in bringing hope to others by introducing Americans to Honduras so they may experience the life-changing lessons we receive when we give our time, talents and treasures. Through those life experiences, others share the joy of providing humanitarian relief with basic shelter, medical facilities and schools to those who urgently need them.
She continues to feel humbled by the generous people that come alongside IHB in support of our mission in Honduras.
