CALM has appointed three new members to its Board of Trustees: Geoff Stevens, Phillip Tabyanan, and Michael D. Young.
Each one brings expertise, leadership, and a commitment to CALM’s mission of preventing childhood trauma and healing children and families.
Stevens joins the board with some 30 years of experience in marketing, operations, and strategic leadership.
As vice president/marketing at FlexOffers, and founder of Kestrel Consultants, Stevens supports innovative growth in the tech and startup space.
A longtime CALM supporter and former volunteer, he will serve on the development Ccommittee, helping to strengthen the organization’s fundraising and outreach efforts.
“CALM’s work goes beyond helping children in the moment; it’s about interrupting cycles of trauma that can echo across generations,” he said.
“Healing is a long-term, strategic investment in the future of our families and our community. I’m honored to support that mission,” Stevens said.
Tabyanan, who was born in Santa Barbara County, returned to the community after a 20-year career in maritime transportation and project management.
He now serves as general manager of PLUS Property Management’s California operations.
Young brings decades of leadership in higher education and a background in student well-being and mental health.
He served as vice chancellor for Student Affairs at UC Santa Barbara for 25 years, overseeing a variety of student-focused services and initiatives.
Young has also played a significant role in statewide and national student mental health policy and continues to serve on several nonprofit boards in Santa Barbara.
“We are thrilled to welcome Geoff, Phillip and Michael to our Board of Trustees,” said Alana Walczak, CALM president/CEO. “Their combined experience, community insight, and passion for CALM’s mission will strengthen our efforts to build resilient communities and reach the children and families who need us most. We look forward to the vision and leadership they will bring.”
