Brenda Byes is a retired entrepreneur and businessperson. She joined the FACES Board to use her volunteer energy to assist in meeting the needs of the community. She became a board member when FACES experienced a transition in leadership.

“I used my networking, management and marketing skills to recruit board members, secure grants, while also organizing and developing programs. I get great joy and satisfaction from providing meaningful service in the community”.

The grants generated funds for music, arts and cultural programs for children, teens and their families; creation of an urban garden and provided refrigeration and transportation for our Food Angels community food distribution program.
