Meet the Board
Our Goals
We are actively seeking new members for the Kennedy Pond Conservancy Board of Directors. This board seeks to care for, enhance, and create educational opportunities that will further the mission of the organization and the property it holds. We are dedicated to creating a deep connection between people and nature.
Zach VanOtteren
Hi, I’m Zach VanOtteren. I have been in Statesboro since I began attending Georgia Southern in 2008. My wife Brooke and I have had nine wonderful years of marriage and four children.
Nature has called to me since I was a young boy. Stomping around the woods with my brothers and camping trips with my family truly shaped who I am as a person. In starting a family we knew that we wanted the outdoors to be as influential and important in our kids lives as they are to us.
When presented with the opportunity to begin Kennedy Pond Conservancy, there was no doubt in my mind that this was the chance of a lifetime. We want nothing more than to help preserve this beautiful and important piece of our natural community. My family and I feel so blessed to have a part in this journey. Our hope is that we can be the stewards this property deserves.
