Eric Voogd, Chair
​Eric Voogd has established a strong presence in the Groveland area over the past decade, where he has not only owns his home but has also immersed himself in the community as a full-time resident for the past five years. His commitment to Groveland is evident in his active participation in local events and his support for various community initiatives.
My Story
Eric's professional journey was marked by experience across sectors such as Accounting, Logistics, Retail, and Building Automation and he holds certifications as both a CPA (inactive) and an MBA. With a rich and diverse career spanning 35 years Eric brings a wealth of expertise to our Foundation as he embraces a well-deserved retirement phase that allows him to indulge in the simple pleasures of life and dedicate more time to leisure and community-based activities.
Family holds a special place in Eric's heart, as he shares a loving relationship with his wife, Laurie James, and takes pride in his two adult sons. Their home is brightened by the companionship of a cherished 14-year-old dog, Waldo.
When it comes to hobbies, like most Grovelanders, Eric finds joy in the great outdoors, particularly through activities like hiking and biking where he especially appreciates riding with the Groveland Trail Heads. Eric's interests extend beyond outdoor pursuits; he takes pleasure in savoring quality beer and cornering Dutch and German tourists for a conversation in the local grocery store, furthering Groveland's outreach to our foreign visitors.
