Jenny Schmitt
Board Member
Jenny has a passion for developing people, strengthening families, and cultivating healthy communities. She has dedicated her career to helping individuals take their next steps in faith and leadership. Her experience spans Next Gen ministry, pastoral care, leadership development, global missions, volunteer training, and organizational strategy. She is particularly passionate about equipping parents and leaders to navigate the complexities of life with wisdom, resilience, and faith. Known for her relational approach to leadership, Jenny believes meaningful growth happens when people feel seen, known, valued, and supported.
Beyond her professional work, Jenny is a lifelong learner who enjoys exploring new ideas, traveling, reading, and experiencing the beauty of God’s creation. She brings curiosity, intentionality, and a spirit of adventure to both her personal and professional life. Whether mentoring emerging leaders, hanging out with her dog, or exploring a national park, she is motivated by a desire to grow, discover, and make a meaningful difference. At the heart of her life and leadership is a simple conviction: people matter, relationships matter, and the way we show up for others can make a lasting impact.
Bill Voth
Board Treasurer
Bill Voth is a 1980 Harvard Law School graduate and recently retired litigation partner in the international law firm Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP. His pro bono legal work in New York City has included representing individuals in criminal and immigration matters and representing a nonprofit public charter school network in Harlem and the Bronx. Bill and his wife, Laura, are members of Stanwich Congregational Church in Greenwich and Stamford, Connecticut, where they serve in leadership, lead Bible studies and prayer groups, and organize missional activities. Bill enjoys the opportunity to live out two of Jesus’s most powerful teachings through his service with Lemonade International to our partners in Guatemala City: the commission to go and make disciples of all nations and the parable reminding us that heaven rejoices when one lost sheep is found.
