Randy Winer
Chair Candidate

As a lover of watersports I have been driven towards Surfrider for a few years now and the purpose they server.  I have always thought that Surfrider Northern Ohio had a lot of potential for further community involvement and collaboration with other local organizations and would love to be able to facilitate that community involvement and collaboration.

Kelsie Saurber
Vice Chair Candidate

The water has always been the place I feel the most alive and at peace, whether it’s a lake, river or the ocean. From my first “creek cleanup” at seven years old I have felt a strong sense of personal responsibility for protecting and preserving these places that I love. I have volunteered with Surfrider for a few years now, but am ready to play a larger role in our chapter as Vice Chair to help expand our outreach and impact in Northern Ohio and the Great Lakes region as a whole.

Angie DeLeon
Treasurer Candidate

I have lived near Lake Erie my entire life and have always been drawn to the water. I know how important it is to our survival (and the survival of all life) and share its importance with my Marine Biology class.

Coby DeLeon
Secretary Candidate

As a younger person getting ready for my future, the impact we as people have on the planet is something that weighs heavily on me. Sustainability and preservation is always something that has mattered to me; even more now that I'm planning for the future. I've attended beach cleanups and volunteered at the Surfrider booth in the past because I admire the work being done by the foundation. While one person might not feel that they have a positive impact on the world around them, together, we're able to make waves. I would love to serve as a member of the chapter leadership team and do just that.

Amanda Boberg
Great Lakes Friendly Restaurants Coordinator Candidate

As a personal foodie and lover of the water I’m excited to be involved in making a positive change in the restaurant industry with the help of the Surfrider Foundation. I’m hopeful to raise awareness and encourage local businesses to join Great Lakes Friendly Restaurants to improve our ecosystems. I’m ready to make a difference while enjoying restaurants/cuisines simultaneously.
