About Us
OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Katie Kreps, President
Growing up here in Northern California, I have been fortunate to have enjoyed nearly every recreation opportunity around - from rafting, skiing in Tahoe, hiking & snowshoeing, biking and all that our region has to offer. On summer breaks in college I hosted kids camps for the parks dept and helped develop and build a scout camp facility at Sly Park Lake. Working in leadership and program development for Chico State and later through Team In Training has opened new ways for me to help connect the community & friends with recreation. Living in Rancho Cordova, it has been so great to see the energy and work put into making this a great community. The Recreation & Parks teams play such a vital role in this growth and I am excited to see what we can bring to this new chapter through the foundation.
Dawn Hall, Treasurer
I have the honor of working as the Director of Operations for Visit Rancho Cordova, a tourism bureau founded in 2010. I have been working with this organization for over 6 years as their bookkeeper but am excited to now be a full-time member of their team. Prior to that, I worked for the Rancho Cordova Chamber of Commerce for over 14 years as their Operations Director. In a short time, I learned what an incredible community Rancho Cordova is. I currently serve as the Treasurer of Leadership Rancho Cordova and have served as their Program Administrator for over 10 years with over 250 graduates. My heart is most content when I can help others. It is with extreme pleasure to be a part of the Cordova Recreation and Park District Foundation Board of Directors. Together we will do great things.
Kelley Bailey, Secretary
As a dedicated senior care professional with over 25 years of experience, I currently serve as a Community Outreach Specialist for a local Hospice agency. My background includes specializing in Alzheimer's and Dementia care within senior living facilities. I'm passionate about helping seniors and feel privileged to have worked across various aspects of senior care. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring Sacramento with my husband, always on the lookout for new culinary experiences. I also devote time to my animals and actively participate in fundraising efforts for those in need. I'm proud to serve on the committee for the Del Oro Cruise Around The World organization, which raises funds for the Del Oro Caregiver Resource Center, providing essential services for caregivers of all ages. As a member of the Cordova Recreation and Parks Foundation, I'm excited about our future endeavors and the positive impact we'll make in our community.
Jose Lopez, Director
I am thrilled to be part of the Cordova Recreation and Parks Foundation's board. I serve as a Director in the Enterprise Risk Office at VSP in Rancho Cordova. As a resident since 2004, I've witnessed our city's incredible growth. My passion for photography connects me deeply to our local parks, inspiring my work. I also enjoy martial arts and open water swimming. With five years at VSP and a long-standing connection to Rancho Cordova, I'm excited to contribute to our community. My goal is to enhance our recreational facilities and parks, making our city an even more vibrant place to live and work. I'm committed to leveraging my skills and enthusiasm to support the Foundation's mission, ensuring our parks remain a source of enjoyment for all residents.
Ashley Wilson, Director
I’m from Lake Tahoe and a mountain girl at heart, but I’ve called the Rancho Cordova area home for over 10 years. With an 11-year-old son who is growing up a Rancho Cordovan, I’m deeply committed to the well-being of our community. My passion for community development and equity is what led me to serve on the board of the CRPF. I currently work at the Rancho Cordova Area Chamber of Commerce, where my goal is to enhance the economic vitality of Rancho Cordova. As the co-owner of Wilson and Sons Transportation, I bring entrepreneurial expertise and a passion for growth & advocacy. I hope to support residents in having equitable access to all of the programs and activities our parks district offers. In my free time, you’ll often find me on the American River, soaking up the sun and vibes, and enjoying the natural beauty that makes our region so special.
Judy Ho, Director
I joined the foundation’s board of directors shortly after graduating from Leadership Rancho Cordova in 2025. Ensuring that our youth have access to educational programs and outdoor recreation is a personal value to me. As a newer resident to Rancho Cordova I am thrilled to be a part of this vibrant and growing community and look forward to shaping the future of this city. I am a Certified Financial Planner ® at Lane Florence, LLC and have the privilege of serving individuals and families in the area. I am excited to be a part of the Cordova Recreation and Park District Foundation and cohort with this talented and passionate team.
Chase Michelotti, Liaison
As the Recreation Superintendent for Cordova Recreation & Park District (CRPD), I am dedicated to fostering community well-being through passion, hard work, and unwavering dedication to organizational growth. With over 13 years in parks and recreation, I oversee the planning and implementation of diverse recreational programs. My focus is ensuring accessible, inclusive services that align with community needs, and I am excited to bring this community-driven approach to the Foundation.
Staying active is central to my life. I enjoy outdoor activities, golfing, fishing, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. As the Foundation’s liaison, I take my responsibilities seriously and am committed to leveraging my strengths to support community and Foundation initiatives. My goal is to ensure our parks and recreational centers thrive as vibrant hubs for fellowship, fun, and engagement.
