About EPH

Indigo brings over 30 years of experience in the nonprofit world, from the Girl Scouts and other youth programs to working with the homeless and low-income seniors. After losing everything in a wildfire, Indigo worked as a disaster case manager to help her community recover. She noticed that seniors and other vulnerable people were more likely to prepare for an emergency if the information was targeted specifically to them, and so helped launch EPH.

Lyn began her career in human services in 2005 as COTS’ first Volunteer Coordinator.  She became a key contributor on their Development team in the areas of database administration, revenue analysis, and grants management. Later, as an independent consultant, Lyn assisted more nonprofits, such as Burbank Housing and Santa Rosa Community Health, track and manage their donor relationships. While helping her mom to live independently and safely in her own home, Lyn realized the unique needs and challenges for seniors around emergency preparedness, and jumped on the EPH train.

Lynn has worked in the nonprofit world for over 20 years, including Spirit Rock Meditation Center and Other Avenues Natural Foods Cooperative in San Francisco. At COTS, an award winning homeless shelter in Petaluma, Lynn was the Volunteer Coordinator and worked in Development. She has worked with seniors in varying capacities throughout her career, at B’nai Israel Jewish Center, SHARE Sonoma County, and the Village Network of Petaluma. While working with this older population, Lynn became increasingly concerned with their safety, and saw the need to help them prepare for emergencies.
