NCCSPA BOARD MEMBERS 2021/2022

SUSAN HAGE | PRESIDENT

I have been president of the pool board for just over a year –through COVID! I’d like to say every moment has been a joy, but the board is tasked with a big job and sometimes we need to make hard decisions for the best of the community at large. My husband and I have three kids who love the pool, so we are deeply invested in the day-to-day summer activities as well as the long term. I am continuously inspired by the passion and commitment of our pool’s membership and volunteers, and I am confident we will continue to make NCCCPA a fun and rewarding place to be.

RACHEL DECTER HYMAN | VICE PRESIDENT

We have been members of the pool since we moved into the neighborhood in 2013. I am currently Vice President of the Board and work on food trucks, communications, social events, and anything else that comes up. Our family enjoys the pool for its sense of community, as well as the summer swim team and master’s workouts. My husband Neil is an MCSL referee and our three children (Sadie, Sam and Rivi) all enjoy (or have enjoyed) swimming with the Sharx. Our dog Teddy also enjoys the doggie dip at the end of the summer! When not at the pool, I work as an attorney for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

MELISSA TIMMONS | SECRETARY

I am a new board member and have been a member of the pool since 2014. My family members include-Husband-Rob, Kids-Grace (12) Jackson (9), Pets-Dogs Hank, and Stella. What I enjoy most about the pool is the feeling of community, watching our kids swimming with friends and competing in swim and dive meets, and being in the water at the end of masters swim practice when the sun is coming up. When I am not at the pool, I spend my time as a buyer for Citi Trends, practicing yoga and cooking or baking for friends and family.

NICK DELUCA | TREASURER

I serve as Treasurer. My wife Jaime and I moved into the neighborhood in March of 2010 and pool members since the summer of 2012. We applied for pool membership before we had our first of four children: Ryan (10), Avery (8), Noa (6), and Taylor(6). All four are now on the swim team and while I was a reluctant swim parent, I am now a certified stroke and turn judge and spend the off-season timing at All Star Aquatics meets. I am a Senior Managing Director at Ankura, an economic consulting firm based downtown. For the last 6 years I have served on the county’s Agricultural Preservation Advisory Board, which oversees the county’s public policies and programs that protect farmland for future generations. To that end, I am invested in serving our community in ways that help communal spaces, like our pool, thrive for decades to come.

JOE COSTELLO | ASSISTANT TREASURER

I am a new board member serving as Assistant Treasurer. My wife Nadine and I moved our family to the neighborhood in the summer of 2014 and promptly submitted the application to join the NCC pool – it took a summer but we finally joined and haven’t looked back. Our older sons Aidan (12) and Declan (10) are tried and true SHARX. Our youngest Quinn (3) is an up-and-coming Baby Shark. By summer I am an involved swim parent as a certified stroke and turn judge and frequent timer. And by day I am a Finance and Strategy Director at Marriott International. I specialize in budgets, financial modeling, and competitor analysis. From the moment the pool opens to the final doggy dip of the season, the NCC pool is synonymous with summer. As a board member, I want to keep the pool a gem of the neighborhood and give back to the community that our family loves so much.

JODY GAN

This is my fifth year serving on the board helping out with communications and social events. I am a true NCCSPA pool rat having swum in the baby pool in the late ’60s and with the swim team in the ’70s! My husband, Michael, and I raised our two sons—Gabe (26) and Zach (23)–in Rock Creek Hills and truly loved being crazy, swim parents while our boys swam for NCC and their club teams, and then when they aged out and were coaches at NCC. I have stayed on deck as the organizer of NCCSPA’s very robust adult masters swim team and really enjoy the special camaraderie we share in the pool as the sun comes up for seven weeks each summer. I feel fortunate that my position as a faculty member teaching public health at American University allows me to maximize my summer pool time!

NETTIE ANGOTTI

I am serving my second term on the board. My husband Chris Kevorkian, son Joey (19), and daughter (18) have spent the last 20 summers at the pool! From the kids swimming on the swim team meant spending most Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings timing, corralling kids, or ribbon writing. Chris, also a former board member, is a perennial grill master for Memorial Day and 4th of July community celebrations; Lily is seen around the pool as a lifeguard. When summer is over, I return to teaching math at Georgetown Visitation.

GREG CICHY

I have lived in the neighborhood for 11 years and been an active member of the pool. Currently serving on the pool board (3rd year) focusing on landscaping matters. I enjoy the 4th of July pool event and the year-end doggy dip.

REED SPELLMAN

My family, my wife Wendy, my son Bryan and my daughter Alexis joined NCCSPA in 2013 and have remained members to this day. NCC pool has become where we spend most of our summer. Alexis joined both the swim and dive teams our first year and has been an enthusiastic member every year since. It has been my pleasure to serve on the NCCSPA board since May of 2019. I am an attorney whose practice area focuses mainly on estate and trust issues, along with the corporate, tax, and real estate matters that often accompany these cases. Since 2012, I have also served on the board of directors (currently as treasurer) of Carbonfund.org, a multi-million dollar environmentally-focused non-profit organization.

DAN SHANLEY

I have been on the pool board for the last several years. I live in North Chevy Chase on Montgomery Avenue with my wife Michelle and three children (Cella (16), Cenzo (11), and Xavier (11)). We also have a new Labrador Retriever named Remy who is looking forward to his first doggy dip. We have been members of the pool since 2008. All three of our kids have been on the swim and dive teams and Michelle and I have both timed. Also, I have been a stroke and turn official for the last four years. My wife and I are lap swimmers and she does masters swim. My hope is to continue serve on the NCC pool board to help possibly make capital improvements to the pool grounds (e.g., the basketball courts) and lap lanes (e.g., pool heater for out of season lap swim) so it continues to be a great place for all to enjoy. For my day job, I am an IP partner at the law firm Hunton Andrews Kurth in DC.

CHRISTINA LOHS

I was elected as a pool board member in May 2020. My husband and three kids and I have been pool members since 2015. I bring strategic and operational planning, meeting design, evaluation, and leadership skills to the NCCSPA Board. Since 2005, I have worked at the U.S. Department of Agriculture where I lead large strategic planning processes. In addition to volunteering my time to the NCCSPA, I volunteer on a parent association at my youngest’s Montessori preschool.

BILL FERRIES

My family moved to the area in 2016 from Miami and we chose the Village of North Chevy Chase neighborhood in large part because of the NCCSPA pool. Though I’m a desk-bound editor for Bloomberg News’s national security team now, I was a competitive swimmer in high school and college and continue to do master’s swimming and the occasional open water race. My son Dylan is a third-year member of the Sharx swim team and our daughter Sierra will be on the pre-team this year. We love how the NCCSPA pool is such a center of the community and look forward to its opening each year.

DAVID MEISEL

This is my second year on the board. When not at NCCSPA I am busy with my family– wife Deborah, Gabi(20), Sam(17), Zach(14) & Lucy(4) the amazing Portuguese water dog–driving to swim practice, dive practice, and wherever else the Meisel family needs to go. I met Deb in Seattle where I was an administrator at an art college- and soon after began to work at Microsoft HQ helping to build teams of people for enterprise clients. My work journey continues to involve the intersection of creativity & technology. The Meisels moved to Chevy Chase in 2010 so that Deb could be back home- as she is an alumna of NCC ES, Westland MS, and BCC HS and our kids could grow up here too and enjoy this special community.

SYLVIA PRYOR

I am pleased to be a new member of the board. Since joining in 2013, our family’s summers have revolved around the pool. My husband, Tim, is an early AM lap swimmer, Teddy (10) competes with the Sharx, and I volunteer as a swim team mom, dabbling in tennis and the occasional lap swim. With a background in corporate marketing, I have expertise in strategic planning, communications, and program operations, most recently as a division Marketing VP at Pearson (international publishing and education company). Currently, I am Membership and Donation Chair with the North Chevy Chase PTA and distribute COVID vaccines with the Maryland Medical Reserve Corps. I am deeply committed to serving our community and am honored to have the opportunity to ensure that the NCC pool continues to bring joy to families now and for years to come.

CHUCK HAWKINS

‘

This is my first year on my board. My family has enjoyed the welcoming and nurturing environment of the pool community for the past eight years, and, now, I want to give back by providing my time and energy with the hope that I can continue the wonderful spirit that keeps all of us wanting to spend our precious free time here. My wife, Sara, and I joined the pool in 2012 when we moved to Chevy Chase. Our children, Molly (10) and Jack (8), are proud members of the NCC Sharx swim team. I am currently the Assistant General Counsel for Volkswagen Group of America, Inc., a role that requires a broad range of legal skills, including litigation, contract negotiation, and general risk mitigation. In addition, I serve as the President of the Chevy Chase Hills Civic Association and the coach of the BCC Nationals, a solid group of 8-year old boys who are developing their baseball skills
