Denia Bridges Foundation is pleased to announce the addition of a new member to its board of directors. At its April 2022 meeting, the board approved the addition of Kevin Lanigan of Portola Valley, CA. Kevin is an active community volunteer and a former hospitality executive and entrepreneur.

Kevin has served in board and leadership roles in several non-profit organizations in the SF Bay Area and across the US. In 2017, Kevin and his wife JuneAn, who has served on the DBF board since 2019, hosted a high school student from Colegio Alfa & Omega in Dénia, Spain for a few months. About his experience Kevin said, “For a few months in 2018 my wife, JuneAn and I got to know Spain and Dénia and Alfa & Omega very well through the insights of the young man who stayed with us. We cooked together, played games together, navigated High School together, attended Church together and traveled a good part of California together. We got to know him, his family and his home in Spain very well. I am certain that my wife and I benefited much more than he did from the experience. I hope to see connections with Denia and Alfa & Omega flourish in the years ahead.”

Scott Johnson, president and co-founder of the Dénia Bridges Foundation said, “We are very excited to welcome Kevin to DBF’s board! He brings expertise, experiences and a heart for Dénia that will be invaluable to the DBF board and our partners in Spain. We look forward to working closely with Kevin to support education and youth development in Spain in the years to come.”
