Susan Summers
President
I am a native southern Californian who decided to leave the golden
state for retirement in the beautiful and wild Sonoran Desert. My
husband, Paul, and I have lived in Vail since 2009 and were
attracted to it because of its beauty and rural atmosphere. As a
former professional in the field of higher education administration
I held many positions, the last of which were as associate dean and
interim dean of the College of Extended Learning at California State
University San Bernardino. In these roles, I worked closely with the
university community and local partners to assess educational needs
and address them through degree programs or tailored professional
development. In retirement, I’m privileged to work with ReSources
board and staff colleagues toward alleviating food insecurity and
imagining a brighter future for our community.
George Mower
Vice President
My wife and I are 17-year residents of the Vail Community. We love
the school district, the slower pace of life, and the rural location
of Vail. After a 35-year career in information technology, I enjoy
volunteering in various local and charitable pursuits. Helping to
feed and care for those in need is not only something I enjoy doing,
but it is very rewarding. We are especially grateful for those in
the community who volunteer, contribute, and support the mission of
the Vail Food Bank and Thrift Store.

Hollie Warnick
Secretary
I am a business owner and homeowner in Vail. My family of 6 has
enjoyed the last 6+ years doing outdoor activities in the beautiful
area. Serving on the Southeast Regional Counsel, writing for the
local “Vail Voice” newspaper, and serving with ReSources is the
special way I choose to give back to the community. My goal is to
see Vail continue together into a future of thriving goodwill where
all who are in need are fed body, mind, and Spirit.
Heather Stough
I am the Community and Connections Director for the Vail School
District, the mother of two beautiful children who will start in the
Vail School District next year, and a strong supporter of the Vail
community. I have worked in the Vail School District since 2005,
gaining experience in the areas of community engagement, event
planning, policy development, and fundraising. I believe that the
partnership between the Vail School District and ReSources is
integral, and I hope to aid in connecting our efforts to continue to
build and support our incredible community. The engagement and
passion that exist within the community members of this area is so
very treasured and, I believe, very hard to find. I am beyond
excited to move my family to this community, so that they may grow
and learn in such a special place.
Travis Le Duc
I am a lifelong resident of Vail! I am employed as the Director of
Support Services for the Tohono O’odham Nursing Care Authority and I
volunteers on local and statewide boards. I started my professional
career as a soldier in the Medical and Aviation Corps of the U.S.
Army serving almost ten years. I graduated from the University of
Arizona in 2008 with a B.S. in Commerce and in 2016 with a Masters
of Business Administration. Over the last twelve years, I have built
and maintain strong relationships with community members,
leadership, organizations and governmental agencies.
Kathy Gately
I am a retired lawyer and United States Marine Corps veteran
originally from Michigan. My family and I have lived in Vail for the
last 14 years. Since moving to Vail, I volunteered most of my time
in the Vail School District as my children grew up. Now that both my
children have graduated, I have expanded my volunteer efforts to
encompass more organizations including the VFW and the Vail Food
Bank. I have always been an advocate for the importance of serving
others and giving back to the community. I am honored to be a part
of the ReSources board and am looking forward to the future of the
Vail community.
Kelly Bristow
Leon Boerup
I have been in the Tucson and Vail area since 1978. My wife and I have 3 wonderful children, all of which grew up and went through VUSD K-12. I was a business owner for 33 years here in Tucson and retired summer 2022. We wanted to help our local community, so my wife helps out at the thrift store, and I volunteered for the board. ‘Lift where you stand…’ so-to-speak
We love the Vail area and hope it can be preserved. Our family has been blessed in many ways and want to give back where we can. My hobby is to weld, which has been cactus art. But new ventures and long time interests now have me building custom street rods… Good times!
Nathan Campbell
I must start by saying it is an honor it is to be on the board of a
such an amazing organization! My hope is that ReSources will
continue to grow and evolve to meet the needs of the community even
better. Within my career, I have worked in supply chain for the past
17-years. Over that span, I have worked in multiple sites and roles
across the Midwest, Phoenix, California, and now in Tucson. I am
currently the Senior Director at the Target Fulfillment Center on
Rita Rd & I-10. I enjoy developing strategy, collaborating with key
stakeholders, and coordinating efforts & resources to achieve great
results! I am a proud resident of Corona De Tucson and cherish the
greater Vail area. In addition to volunteering at the Food Bank as a
food rescue driver, I enjoy traveling and visiting National Parks
and National Monuments.
Jill Gibson
I am originally from Kentucky, but moved to Tucson with my family as a child in 1967. I raised my family with my husband, Bill in San Jose CA. We moved back to Tucson and settled into Corona de Tucson in 2007 after my husband retired. I am the mother of 3 daughters and grandmother to 5 wonderful grandchildren. I have been a manager for Starbucks Coffee Company since 2001 and currently manage the 22/Harrison location. My degree is in health sciences, which I hope to use in my encore career when I retire. In my community I am on our HOA board, the Corona de Tucson Community Alliance and recently joined the Greater Vail Community Resources board. I have a passion for our desert, mountains and community. I love to cycle, walk my dogs, hike and work on DIY projects around my home.
JuanCarlos Velasco
I’ve lived in Vail since 2017, my wife, 4 kids and I have come to love this community, especially the wonderful people here. I was born and raised in Chiapas, Mexico, moved to the US at age 17 and became a US citizen in 2007. I’ve been a retail business owner for the last 19 years and have gained a lot of experience while managing it. Having graduated with a Master’s degree in Accounting from Brigham Young University has been instrumental in the success of the business. I’m a licensed CPA in Arizona but haven’t been able to practice Public Accounting to this point. I believe my unique perspective, background and experience can make a difference for our community as a member of the board.
