Trustee Bios:
Daniel Cordrey
Daniel Cordrey has
worked as an a carpenter, contractor, and green builder. He's lived in
the local community since 2001. He lives with his wife, a social
worker, and his son, Sheamus, in a tenants-in-common (TIC) owned home in
Inverness Park. He enjoys being outside with his family, kayaking, and
promoting sustainable housing.
Maureen Cornelia moved to the Bay area from affordable upstate New York in 1993. She quickly came to understand the impact that the area’s high cost of real estate has upon communities. After a sales and marketing career in high tech, she was drawn to the Inverness/Point Reyes area by the sense of community, the activism of its residents, and the beauty of the land. An early CLAM supporter, Maureen joined the CLAM Board to support its efforts in creating affordable housing options for this vibrant, diverse community. Maureen brings great experience as a sales/marketing professional, and she's also an avid gardener.
Lorraine Fisher-Smith
Lorraine Masters Fisher-Smith has
been a West Marin resident since 1988, and has served her community as a
Certified Massage Therapist since 1990. Lorraine is an active volunteer
at West Marin School functions and sits on the Shoreline Unified
School District Wellness Committee. She is a founding member of
the recently re-activated West Marin Parent-Teacher-Student
Association, chairs the PTSA Student Nutritional Advisory
Committee (SNAC), and has coached soccer in the West Marin Youth
Soccer League’s Recreational division for the past five years.
Lorraine’s motivation to be on the CLAM board of directors stems from
watching friends and good community members leave West Marin in order to
find affordable housing elsewhere. Lorraine lives with her husband and
two children in the Point Reyes area where she enjoys bicycling,
swimming and hiking.
Kerry Munger Livingston
Kerry Munger Livingston, a longtime West Marin resident, has plenty of experience in the local housing situation: she and her husband were renters raising three children for fifteen years (five rentals in Point Reyes Station and Olema) before finally finding one of the last affordable houses in Inverness eight years ago. Her father, Carl Munger, co-founded CLAM at a time that he could see first-hand the housing frustrations of lower income West Marin residents. Kerry has been a West Marin librarian for 20 years, the last 17 of those at Stinson Beach and Bolinas libraries. She and her husband, California historian Dewey Livingston, have three children: Molly, a senior at UC Santa Cruz; Ben, a senior at Tomales High School; and Nora, a junior at Midland School.
Marshall Livingston
I have been involved
in housing issues in West Marin for thirty years as a renter, homeowner,
designer, builder and landlord. As a licensed contractor and real estate
broker, my experience with ownership, financing, construction and
tenant/landlord law and relations can be valuable to CLAM and the community. I
am committed to the creation of low cost housing for all members of the
community. I am on the Design Review Committee of the Point Reyes Station
Village Association and the board of the West Marin Youth Soccer League. I
live in Inverness with my wife and children.
Tor Taylor
Tor Taylor has been in love with West
Marin since she first started coming for weekends in 1978. She finally
realized her dream of living here full-time in 2000. Tor has been a
supporter of CLAM for many years and appears to be a lifetime member of
CLAM’s Green Home Tour committee. She is a Program Manager in Business
Intelligence for Autodesk. She and her partner, Laurie Monserrat, live in
Point Reyes Station and are active volunteers for a broad variety of local
and national non-profits. Her interests include dogs, gardening and
photography.
Nancy Vayhinger, LCSW CMT
I have worked with non-profit organizations for 20 years, as a social
worker, counselor, teacher, project manager, and representative to the
public through written and oral communication. My second career for the last
10 years has been to offer therapeutic bodywork and massage to people of all
ages, and especially to seniors. I also practice Tai Chi, Aikido, and
kayaking. I wish to support affordable housing, which benefits everyone in
the community.
