Board of Directors

David Fischel

Board Chair

David is a retired Pediatrician, who has been happily married to Melanie for almost 49 years. He's the father of two adult children and grandfather to two blossoming adolescents. As a couple, David and Melanie have embraced the experience of being able to participate in short-term volunteer opportunities in various places around the globe. "Most relevant, perhaps, to my serving on the Board of CRC is that I've been a member of this Teton Valley community for over 40 years. In that span of over 4 decades, I've witnessed lots of change in this valley, a great deal of it positive.

Adam Williamson is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Nationally Certified Counselor. He has worked in the field of mental health since 2004. In addition to individual and couples therapy, Adam consults and works with hospitals doing suicide assessments, consultation, and as a designated examiner which includes court testimony in commitment proceedings.

Adam is certified as a Psychological Autopsy Investigator and provides front line service and consultation to individuals and the community at large following a suicide. He works in a private practice in Driggs, Idaho, and at a community mental health agency in Jackson, Wyoming. “I am committed to the overall mental health of our community and honored to be on the board at the CRC of Teton Valley.”

Teton Valley became Ruth’s home in 2017, though she’d been visiting the Valley for years after her daughter settled here. Ruth is a retired professional nurse and spent most of her career as a staff member and later, administrator of hospice and home care programs in the Midwest. She is also a certified spiritual director. Ruth is very active with St. Francis Episcopal church in Alta and through that association Ruth learned how she could help support the work of the Community Resource Center.

“I have been on the Board of CRC since December of 2019 and am in awe of the commitment and energy of staff to link community residents with resources to overcome crises that present barriers to their continued well-being. The CRC may be a young not-for-profit but its programming and services suggest it already serves a vital role in building resilience of residents to become stable contributors who will enhance the community’s future.

Richard Romano

Chair of the Fund Development Committee

For over 27 years, Rich has served in the financial services industry and is the co-owner and managing partner of ARC Wealth Management based out of Salt Lake City. Rich and his family fell in love with Teton Valley several years ago and hatched a plan to buy a home in the Valley. In 2020, that dream became a reality. After spending most of the last two years here, his love for the valley and those who call it home has only continued to grow.

Rich strongly believes that those who have moved in and become a part of this amazing community should give back to those who make this community work. He and his amazing wife have two very cool adult children. Izzy, who recently moved to Hawaii, and Simon, who lives and plays in the mountain west.
