Beth Wright

Director

Beth Wright brings over 47 years of professional experience, having retired from a career at a leading insurance company. Her journey of service extends beyond the corporate world, with a deep commitment to community outreach and missions. She served as the secretary of the Mission Board at her church and has traveled on three mission trips to Mazatlan, Guadalajara, and Obregon, Mexico. Additionally, Beth dedicated several years to programs that provided nourishment and compassion to homeless individuals.

Beth’s passion for service and compassion is evident in her personal life as well. She has been married for 45 years and believes that prayer, praise and chocolate are key answers to life’s most pressing questions. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family, her dogs, gardening, fishing and embracing the joys of life one day at a time.

In her obedience to God, Beth founded Simply Love, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing meals to families in need and sharing her belief that “The greatest of these is LOVE.”

Lisa Rometti

President, BSBA, MSOL

Lisa Rometti brings over 20 years of experience working with children who have experienced trauma. She holds certifications in Trauma Parent Coaching, Poverty Training, Fetal Alcohol and other Neurobehavioral Conditions, Suicide Prevention, and Trust-Based Relational Intervention. Through fostering and adopting special needs children, Lisa recognized the need for a deeper understanding of trauma and nonprofit work. Inspired by experts like Diane Malbin and Dr. Karyn Purvis, she furthered her expertise and became certified in Present Moment Parenting under Tina Feigal, M.S. Ed.

Lisa’s passion for creating impactful change led her to earn a BSBA in Nonprofit Management and pursue an MSOL in the same field. She is pursuing her Masters in Arts in Christian Apologetics at Biola University’s Talbot School of Theology. Her mission is to enhance nonprofit effectiveness, helping organizations overcome stagnation and achieve significant outcomes for the communities they serve.

Sharon Lovegrove

Vice President

Sharon Lovegrove has spent much of her adult life balancing work and raising children. With six years of experience as a secretary and Twenty Eight years at Jackson National, she built a strong foundation in the professional world. Alongside her career, Sharon raised three biological children and fostered seven others, two of whom she later adopted.

Sharon’s personal experience with the complexities of navigating life on the edge of financial stability has deeply influenced her commitment to serving others. She understands firsthand the challenges of making too much for government assistance, yet not enough to support her family. In addition to her primary job, she worked part-time at a local restaurant to make ends meet.

Her journey has given Sharon a unique understanding of life’s challenges, including homelessness, and has equipped her with invaluable insights into how to overcome adversity. Sharon’s greatest strength lies in her compassion for others, and her unwavering faith in God.

Sharon is dedicated to helping families in need and she seeks to ease the burdens of others by offering practical support and a message of hope and Love.

Lisa has a heart for assisting others, recognizing that in doing so, she serves her Savior, Jesus Christ. She has taught English as a Second Language to refugees and mentored them, helping ensure that they felt grounded and productive in their new country.
