The Devereux CA Advisory Board recently welcomed a new member, Dan Terry, to its mix. The board’s focus is twofold: fundraising and increasing community awareness of Devereux CA’s programs and services through networking and advocacy.
From Hermosa and Manhattan Beaches, Terry is a graduate of UCLA and the University of Santa Clara Law School. He is also a member of the California Bar Association.
Terry is a 38-year resident of the Goleta community. As a professional, he negotiated and managed government contracts for SBRC, Delco and others.
He has volunteered in a variety of organizations including the American Youth Soccer Organization as a referee and coach. He is the past president of Dos Pueblos Little League and current board president of Foundation for Girsh Park.
Terry and his wife, Sharon, have two sons, Bill and Scott, who are both recent graduates of Notre Dame and now live in Dallas, Texas.
Terry has a very personal 50-year interest in special needs issues, beginning with his brother and sister, who were both born deaf.
Devereux CA is lucky and very honored to welcome Terry to the board.
