Ahnee Conner has been named IHN’s new Board of Directors Chair. Ahnee has served on the IHN board since spring 2007 and throughout her time with us, she has been instrumental in serving IHN as an officer, both as Secretary and Vice President. She has actively participated at every level of volunteering for IHN, including strategic planning, interviewing of potential IHN employees, painting and other hands-on help, and spending valuable one-on-one time with our families—especially the youngsters.

Ahnee has true passion for the families we help at IHN, and she is especially dedicated to the children. She brings a vast amount of experience in working with children to IHN. From teaching emotionally challenged adolescents to working as a volunteer tutoring with South Side Opportunity Services, to substitute teaching in Fort Wayne for many years, to having seven children and 10 grandchildren of her own, Ahnee is well qualified to work with and advocate on behalf of IHN’s little ones.

In addition, Ahnee has worked in several family-owned businesses throughout the years, and her business acumen will help guide IHN as it moves forward during an important new period. Overall, it’s easy to see how and why IHN will benefit greatly from Ahnee’s leadership skills and passion for families without homes. We are thankful and excited to have her as board chair.
