Jean Fregeau, Board of Directors
Columbia Ski Club members - I am throwing my name in the hat for the position of CSC Board of Directors for the 2024-26 term. Upon retiring in 2022, I joined CSC to go on the 2023 Taos ski trip. It was such a great experience that I found myself getting more involved in the Club, first as Secretary and then as part of the Web Team. There is more to be done in the coming term and I would like to continue to be a part of it.
A bit about my background …..I retired from the Howard County Public School System, where I was an engineering teacher for 12 years. In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I was passionate about recruiting and supporting students from diverse backgrounds in the field of engineering. Today I enjoy seeing the processes and programs that I created live on even though I am no longer at the helm.
Prior to my teaching career, I spent 20+ years working in the field of engineering, first as a design engineer, then a project engineer and finally as a small business owner. In addition to my career experiences, I have launched three children into adulthood, enjoy hiking, gardening, pickleball, yoga, and almost anything that takes me outdoors. I have enjoyed working, over the past year, with the many dedicated members that make CSC such a wonderful organization and look forward to continuing that work.

Kerry Siebein, Board of Directors
Greetings Columbia Ski Club members! I am running for a position on the board of directors of the Columbia Ski Club and want to tell you a little about myself. I am a relatively new member of CSC, but I really enjoy the club activities, especially the skiing. I know that running a club like CSC takes a lot of work and I thought this a good way to help with the organization of the club and events.
I joined the Columbia Ski Club 2 years ago. Prior to that time, I was a member of the SCWDC for a couple of years. My ski club activities include being the trip leader for the Lake Tahoe Ski Trip (2024) and going on a few ski trips a year with various ski clubs.
I am currently a Physical Scientist at the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) Nanofab User Facility at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). I work on semiconductor materials with a focus on materials characterization.
In my present position, I assist facility users with characterization projects and provide consultations on how to get the information required using the characterization techniques available at the center. I am also involved in numerous technical societies. Most recently, the Microanalysis Society (MAS) where I was the Committee Chair for the Affiliated Societies and Tour Speaker Committees for 6 years. I am also a reviewer for the International Society for Testing and Failure Analysis (of semiconductors) (ISTFA) and the International Conference on Electron, Ion and Photon Beam Technology and Nanofabrication (EIPBN).
I am a gardener and have been the Treasurer of the SEBA Gardens at NIST, which is a community garden on the NIST campus. I am also a dancer and was involved with the Friday Night Dancers (FND) group that puts on weekly contra dances at Glen Echo Park. I was on the FND board of directors for a total of 4.5 years including being president of the group for 3 years. I like to hike and bicycle and play pickleball. Pickleball anyone?
If elected, I look forward to serving on the Board of Directors of CSC.

Julie Hendricks, Board of Directors
Hello Columbia Ski Club Members!
My name is Julie Hendricks, and I was delighted to be asked to consider running for the Board of Directors and I’m thrilled to put my name on the ballot. I officially joined the club in 2020 to join the Big Sky trip, On the trip, I really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere of the group and I have been a member ever since. I have gone on several club ski trips each year. I’ve been an avid snowboarder for 20+ years and I’ve enjoyed boarding in the US, Europe, Asia, and South America.
Last spring, I added my name to be an ATL and was honored to be matched with Robin Hershey for the Telluride trip. Over the years, I have taken pleasure in volunteering for many organizations, and I have benefited from taking active roles as president, treasurer, and event coordinator.
I have worked in the financial field for over 30 years. As a CPA, I provided audit, tax and accounting services to a variety of entities including nonprofit organizations, corporations and individuals. For the past 22 years, I have enjoyed working for myself. I help other small businesses with their daily financial functions including accounting, budgeting, and payroll. In addition, I consult with clients regarding
financial reporting, internal controls, and tax preparation. I really enjoy supporting the behind-the-scenes efforts of my clients, which is something I would love to do for the Club!
I look forward to the opportunity to serve on the Club’s Board!
