Meet Shoreham Village's volunteer Board of Directors:

Joseph Green - Board Chair

Having been raised in various communities in the Municipality of the District of Chester, Joe returned home after a number of years living abroad and in Halifax. Having freely received so much from the people and organizations of our area, Joe sought to give back in kind. Joe was educated locally at Saint Mary's University and Acadia University as well as Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. Having joined the board in 2018, Joe is passionate about the care and concern given to our elders both in Shoreham and in our neighbourhood. This passion is shared by his spouse Amber who works in elder care contexts. Joe is a local Baptist minister and serves churches in Chester Basin and Western Shore. He is active in our community and serves on local boards. Prior to joining the board Joe volunteered at Shoreham as a spiritual care support to the Recreation Department.

Elizabeth Finney - Vice-Chair

Born and raised in Chester, Liz always knew she was interested in public service. After completing her studies at Mount Allison University, she worked on Parliament Hill as an advisor to Members of Parliament, Cabinet Ministers and two Prime Ministers. Since then she has held senior positions in government relations and communications at the University of Toronto, Dalhousie University, South Shore Health, as well as a number of years with the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland. Liz is currently a mother of three, the Fund Development Director at Bonny Lea Farm, partner in Anchor Public Affairs, and Treasurer of the Dr John M.T. Finney Memorial Fund. She is thrilled to continue her family’s involvement with Shoreham Village. Her father, Tosh, was one of Shoreham’s founders in the early 1970s and her mother, Jean, volunteered here for many years.
