 Collen Janssen

Coleen has been a member of the GFWC Woman’s Club of Cypress since 2015. She served as president of her club from 2017-2019.

This year, she was installed as President of Orange District, California Federation of Women’s Clubs. Orange District covers 21 clubs in Orange County.

Her theme honors the founding mother of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, Jane Cunningham Croly. In 1890, at age 61, Jane gathered representatives from 63 clubs throughout the country to New York to federate the organization.

Considering there were no phones or email, few cars, and travel was difficult, the odds of her being successful were small, but she did it.

 Kimberly McNab

Kimberly is the Housing Navigation Coordinator at Recovery Road, a non-profit organization based in Anaheim. With over 25 years of experience working with government agencies, including the Federal Housing Administration and the Veterans Administration, Kimberly has specialized in housing programs aimed at supporting vulnerable populations. Her expertise has been instrumental in developing Recovery Road’s Housing Program, which has successfully assisted over 1,000 families in Orange County to secure affordable housing or rental assistance.

A year ago, Kimberly stepped into a leadership role at the request of Recovery Road’s founder, Robin Rush, to establish the Housing Program. In addition to helping families, Recovery Road works closely with individuals transitioning from various treatment programs, connecting them to transitional housing as they move towards permanent, stable living arrangements. This critical support helps reduce housing insecurity for those facing significant challenges in the community.

Kimberly is also a proud survivor of Stage 4 Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC), a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer often diagnosed at later stages. Her battle, which began more than 20 years ago through a clinical trial at City of Hope, has inspired her to volunteer as a peer support counselor for others facing similar diagnoses. She has participated in several charity fashion shows to support cancer awareness and research through organizations like City of Hope and Nordstrom.

In her free time, Kimberly enjoys the quiet comfort of home with her animals and finds joy in reading. Most importantly, she cherishes time spent with her family and friends.
