Dénia Bridges Foundation (DBF) is excited to welcome its newest board member, Ms. JuneAn Lanigan, a senior Silicon Valley business executive with over 25 years of senior leadership positions at IBM, Siemens, Cisco, Intuit, Sun Microsystems, Oracle, Juniper Networks and Western Digital. JuneAn is a member of Menlo Church in Menlo Park, California and has served in leadership for several ministries at Menlo, including LifeKeys, Equipping Ministries, Women’s Bible Study, and Compassion Weekend. In 2016, she was nominated for Menlo Church’s Elder Board (a four-year term) and in 2018 was elected the President of the Board. JuneAn will help DBF achieve its mission of supporting innovative approaches to expanding the kingdom of Jesus Christ in Spain through Christian Education and Youth Leadership programs.

JuneAn and her husband Kevin felt called to support Christian education in Spain after serving as host parents to Kiko, a Spanish exchange student from Colegio Alfa & Omega (Dénia, Spain) in 2018. The Lanigans along with their two daughters, MacKenzie and Caitlyn, then traveled to Dénia shortly after to visit Kiko and his family, touring Colegio Alfa & Omega, its special prayer garden, the Trinity Church and meeting with faculty and administration. “I am honored to be part of this dynamic and inspiring team and look forward to witnessing all that God has planned for Colegio Alfa & Omega, its current and future students and the impact of Christ’s love in the community of Dénia,” said JuneAn. Scott Johnson, President of the Dénia Bridges Foundation board added, “I am pleased to welcome JuneAn to our board. She brings a wealth of experience and expertise in her field and will be a tremendous asset to our board as we work towards our goal of supporting the establishment of Spain’s first Protestant Baccalaureate college prep program at Colegio Alfa & Omega in Dénia“.
