Board of Directors
SARAH HARBOLD
BOARD PRESIDENT
Sarah attends Providence Community Church in Spring Grove, where she volunteers with the Hospitality Ministry and sits on the Board of Directors for the 'Greater Culture Group' - an organization that consults with struggling churches nationwide to repair and strengthen their culture!
After learning about 18 South and their mission, Sarah started volunteering at Girls Club during the fall of 2018. "After my first experience at Girls Club, I knew this was an organization I wanted to further invest my time in.”
“The girls are at a pivotal point in their lives where a single mentor, word of encouragement or an ear to listen, can completely alter the choices they make or the paths they choose to take. I want to be all of those things for them because they deserve it!" Sarah said.
Sarah attended both York College of Pennsylvania and the University of Tampa, where she majored in Public Relations and minored in communications and marketing. While earning her Bachelors Degree, Sarah had five marketing internships, which allowed her to determine which niche of marketing she wanted to pursue after graduating.
Now, four years after graduating, Sarah works for herself as a Digital Marketing Specialist with a focus on communicating brands stories. She is excited to bring her marketing and communications knowledge to the 18 South Board to help make the organization more visible and understood by the local and surrounding communities!
KATELYN BEAVERSON
BOARD TREASURER
Katelyn attends Living Word Community Church and serves in their nursery. She also serves at Human Life Services, a faith-based crisis pregnancy center in York City. Seeing the teen parents who come into the pregnancy center has made her aware of the need for a supportive and loving influence in the lives of so many of our community’s young people. 18 South is that presence in Red Lion, so she feels blessed to get to be a part of this ministry.
Katelyn received her Bachelor of Science in accounting from York College of Pennsylvania in 2015 and began her job working for WellSpan Health as an accountant in that same year. She is currently a financial analyst and works with WellSpan’s philanthropic arm, as well as their home health services, to record and track financial activity and advise in operations.
In her free time, Katelyn loves to hang out with her two younger sisters who double as best friends. She also enjoys reading a good book with a hot cup of matcha.
DAVE BOLEN
BOARD SECRETARY
Dave has been a devoted volunteer for 18 South for years. In fact, it is where he met his wife Kellie. Together, with their son Silas, and their three dogs, they live in Red Lion and have a passion to see youth make the most of their potential.
Dave is a gamer, content creator, paranormal investigator, and a follower of Christ. He serves at Pleasant View Church on the Audio Visual Team and is always looking for ways to use technology to help others.
DAVID DIAZ
BOARD MEMBER
David is originally from Baltimore, Maryland and moved to York in 2005, with his wife Angela. They were high school sweethearts, have been together for 26 years and have three children, Xavier, Emelia and Lydia. Both David and Angela recognize a need in our community, specifically related to those teens that are hurting and he is excited to be part of an organization that has that at the core to their mission.
David received his Bachelor of Science in accounting from Towson University in 1999 and earned his CPA designation in 2001. In 2013, David became an alumni of the Harvard business school. David joined Exelon in 2001 and has since progressed through a variety of roles across Finance with increasing responsibility over time. He currently is senior vice president of audit services, a member of the Exelon Executive Committee and reports into the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. He is responsible for managing the execution of Exelon’s audit and controls strategies and activities. David is the founding president of the Baltimore chapter of the Association of Latino Professionals for America, the first national Latino professional association in the United States. He also is a member of the board of directors and treasurer of TurnAround, Inc., a non-profit organization focused on building a community free of violence by advocating for and educating adults and children affected by an intimate partner and sexual violence in Baltimore City and Baltimore County. He is hopeful that his experiences in these various roles will provide valuable support to 18 South.
Proverbs 3:27: “Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.” Focusing on all of the world’s problems at once can be overwhelming and cause us to think we can’t make a difference. It is God’s job to place specific people in our lives that need help, and it is also his job to give us the resources to help those people. We just need to be faithful to act in those moments with what he’s given us, and we can let him take care of the rest. David firmly believes that if we can help one person, that will in turn help many. This model of help one, help many can completely change a life trajectory for generations to come. Being able to positively impact one person, it’s kind of like ripples in water.
“The reason I want to help others is rooted in my family background. My story is the epitome of the American dream. I see where my family came from, where I am now, and I see others in need. To ignore it just doesn’t sit right.”
TOM WISE
BOARD MEMBER
A current worship coordinator, praise leader, and sound ministry member at Pleasant View Church, Tom is a recent retiree of Red Lion Area School District. In his teaching career, he has led the senior high choral music program including coaching vocals in the all-school musicals for the past thirty-five years. A graduate of Red Lion High School in 1982, Tom went on to earn a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Music Education at West Chester University. Wise is a lifelong Red Lion resident and the proud father of two children and two grandchildren. Tom is looking forward to seeing how God will use his gifts in the 18 South Ministry while serving on the board of directors.
“I feel as though I have been mentoring youth for most of my life. Both music and teenagers have been a passion of mine for a very long time. I am looking forward to seeing how God will continue to use these passions in this important ministry in my home town. These are vital years in these youth’s life and they need to feel loved and accepted in order to allow God to mold them into His intended plan for their life. If I am even a small part of His plan, I will feel very blessed.”
