Mike Banks – Las Campanas – San Miguel

My wife and I moved to the Green Valley area in 2003 and live here year round. We are active tennis and pickleball players, bowlers, birders, cribbage players and Clay Studio members. I have an MBA in Finance and Marketing, and have been involved in the financial sectors of Information Technology for 42 years.

I volunteered in the Finance Department of the Town of Sahuarita for more than two years, and in 2006 was named Chairman of the Finance and Investment Advisory Committee for the Town. I was Treasurer of a Homeowner Association in San Diego for 5 years, and was a Board Member of a Tennis Club for 3 years.

During my career in management and consulting, I successfully managed many small and large projects and organizations. I am a good listener, and will use my analytical strengths and problem-solving skills to assure that GVR remains well-run and cost-effective, and is responsive to the residents of Green Valley.

Bob Barry – Canoa Ranch – Canoa Terrace

My wife, Mary and I moved into our house in Canoa Terrace last year. We came to Green Valley from Colorado where I was active in coaching youth sports and playing senior basketball and softball. I've continued my quest for softball mediocrity with the BAJAs. We've taken advantage of the excellent GVR facilities and cultural activities and are looking forward to helping keep GVR a strong, responsive organization.

I've had two careers. During my 25 years as a Navy Officer I've led and managed people under a variety of circumstances. I learned how to listen and rely on good people and teams to accomplish goals. My second career was as program manager at Ball Aerospace. I participated in several successful space programs.

I am interested in seeing GVR flourish and am ready to devote time and energy to accomplish that goal.

After visiting Green Valley several times since 1989, my wife Charlotte and I purchased a home and moved here upon our retirement in 2001. Green Valley Recreation and the opportunities it presents was a big factor in our decision to retire here.

I am a Kansas native and a former professor of Computer Science, having retired from Illinois College. Since coming to Green Valley I have been active in my hobby of photography. I am a past president of the Camera Club and have been teaching digital photography in the Camera Club (and early on in the Computer Club). My wife is very active in the Lapidary club where she is the past co-chairman of their Decembers Fair. She is currently the lead instructor of the wire-wrap classes. She also teaches GVR classes on personal finance.

It is my desire to see that GVR continues to serve the people of Green Valley. GVR is very important to the physical and mental health of its members.

Stanford (Stan) A. Riddle – San Ignacio Ridge Estates, Inc.

A full-time resident, my wife, Nila and I moved to Green Valley twelve years ago. A graduate of UCLA School of Business Administration, with forty years in corporate real estate development where I served on the Board of Directors of two public held corporations. Served as the first President of the San Ignacio Ridge Estates Inc. Homeowners Association for three years. Accomplishments included establishment of a reserve fund for future repair of existing improvements, a reduction in the annual dues, a termite maintenance program and general enhancement of the common areas. Served on the Board of Directors, Desert Hills Golf Club where I directed a program to expand clubhouse facilities within an established budget. During seven years on the GVR Board served as President, Vice President, Treasurer and Chair of Fiscal Affairs, Planning & Evaluation and Developer Committees. I am also Treasurer of both the GV Community Foundation and the Coordinating Council. I am very much concerned with the future of GVR, its impact on members and the Community and maintaining a strong fiscal policy within established guidelines to meet member’s needs.

After graduating from Gettysburg College, I went to work for the Department of Defense. During my 25 years with DOD, I was trained in small group dynamics, conflict management, and the differing management styles of men and women. After retirement, I moved to Colorado where I served my community as an EMT, First Responder, Firefighter, and as President, Vice President, and board member of our Citizens Association.

In July 2007 my hubby, Jim Baker, and I moved to Green Valley. I’ve wasted no time in leaping into the activities that drew us here. You can find me at Swimnastics, the Clay Studio, Garden Club, Tucson Audubon, Green Valley birders, and a Newcomers group. I’m also exploring starting up a GVR Club focused on fitness and flexibility and am an active AKC approved dog show judge.

I would like to help keep GVR strong and responsive to its members.
