NHBCC welcomes Betsy Westgate, who has served as Vice President for several years, into the role of President in 2025. In addition to serving as VP, she has been part of the Support Services team since her arrival on the Board in 2018. With her passion for our mission and her skills as a former lawyer, Betsy is well placed to continue the important work of our organization.
We also welcome a new Vice President, Denise Jeffery. Denise, in her second year as a Board member, comes to us with a wealth of knowledge in the medical field as a nurse practitioner in genetics, and is passionate about helping people facing a cancer diagnosis.
Longtime NHBCC Treasurer Jacqueline Staiti will continue in that position for the coming year. As the founder and owner of Amanda Thomas LLC in Merrimack, Jackie is passionate about our mission and has been an active advocate in the breast cancer community.
Kristi Hallowell will continue as Secretary for a second year. As a marketing executive, Kristi has multiple skills to share with NHBCC to expand and improve our presence in the community.
The new executive leadership, and the rest of the Board, wholeheartedly wish to convey their sincere gratitude to outgoing President Tammie Larocque as she steps down following her second two-year term in five years! Tammie’s leadership has been critical to NHBCC’s ongoing success, and she will devote much of her energy in her role as Immediate Past President to the growth of the vital advocacy arm of our mission.
