Yvonne Burgess
Vice PresidentDepartment: Board of Directors
In which area would others consider you an “expert”?
Former business and estate planning lawyer with over 20 years experience working with individuals and public and privately held companies. Now as a real estate broker, I continue to advise clients with well-reasoned and creative solutions for their commercial and residential transition planning needs.
How did you get involved with St. Vincent de Paul?
I was invited to observe client interviewing by a former client. Impressed by the level of commitment of the volunteer staff and the organization’s delivery on its mission to provide food, housing and services to needy in the area, I joined SVdP in 2014.
How would you like to see St. Vincent de Paul of Bend grow in the coming years?
I am very interested in seeing SVdP continue to develop its low income housing projects.
