2024 MBR Board Director Nominees
Steve Pand- current Vice President & Legal & Insurance Director
I am a lifelong resident of Washington and have been at the Rim since 2005. I received my BA from the University of Washington and my JD from Seattle University. I have practiced law for over 30 years with a primary focus on Construction Contracts, Defects/Defaults Bonding and Insurance. I have had previous experience serving on the City of Covington Washington's Economic Development Council and on the City's Parks and Recreation Commission. In my spare time, I volunteer for International Childrens' Network a world children's organization helping orphan and at-risk children obtain an education. I am married and have two children. As a family, we have spent years hiking, skiing, snowboarding and enjoying the outdoors.
​
Dawn Chaplin- current Member Relations Director
I would like to introduce myself my name is Dawn Chaplin and I am volunteering for a director position on the board. My husband (Jim) my daughter (Ellena) and myself have been a member since 1991. Have previously been on the board in different positions last one was secretary. I also am Social for the Rim I put on about twelve events a year and I am looking for members to join the Social Committee. I am retired. I previously worked for The Royal Bank of Canada Western Visa Centre in Merchant sales and Collections 14 years. I take being on the board seriously and will represent the members to the best of my ability. I am from Vancouver B.C. Canada. I feel it is important to listen to the members and understand what they want within the community. We love the Rim it's a great get away for us and have met many good friends. Thank you.

Deborah Lazaldi
I am interested in serving on the MBR BOD primarily because I live here with my newly acquired Husky dog Bowie.
I have had a place here since 2005 and finally full time this year.
I hike these beautiful mountains, including a summit of Mt. Baker, and call this my ski home.
I volunteer for the Washington Trails Association building trails and for the Foothills Community Food Bank.
In my former life I was an Assistant Attorney General, a Washington Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals Judge and worked in private practice in my small firm representing both injured workers and Self-Insured Washington Employers in Worker Compensation matters. I volunteered for the King County Bar Association free legal clinic.
I now spend my time hiking with Bowie and other wonderful women friends in this community, reading, binging on various streaming services, cooking and entertaining visitors. And of course travelling the world!
I must tell you and the members that I want to pinch myself every single morning I wake up in this beautiful place. I walk around the Rim that is so beautiful and reflects the Baker vibe. I feel lucky to be here and look forward to further serving this special place.
