Meet Our Board Members
Our board members serve with faith, purpose, and compassion, providing leadership and guidance rooted in a shared commitment to our mission.
Flip Johnson
I have lived in Coldwater since grade school.
In recent years I have noticed that there are many without proper housing. I have been a Genesis Outreach board member since shortly after its founding. The role of Genesis in Coldwater has been profound for men who want to return to a better life through counseling and guidance.
April Summey
Hi, I’m April Summey. For over 20 years, I’ve worked as an office administrator in the agricultural millwright industry. I’m married with three wonderful children, and I love escaping to warmer climates whenever I can. Outside of work, my heart is dedicated to helping those who can’t speak for themselves. I’m deeply involved with animal advocacy—volunteering with shelters and rescues, fostering, assisting with adoptions and transports, and providing care to animals in need. I’m equally passionate about supporting our city’s homeless population, serving on the Genesis Outreach board to make a real difference in people’s lives. Helping others reach their next step, whether human or animal, is what drives me every day.

Robin Perry Brabon
I joined the Genesis Outreach Board in 2020 and have been a member of Genesis Outreach Ministries for the past five years, serving in various roles and helping wherever needed to support the success of this worthwhile organization. I am retired from Union City Schools, where I served as a head cook. My professional background also includes serving in the U.S. Navy during the late 1970s and early 1980s, as well as eight years as Treasurer of Matteson Township. In between these roles, I owned and operated several businesses, including PM Video, Pastries Plus, and Brush and Roller Painting, while also working part-time in other positions. Today, I am enjoying retirement by traveling and making quilts for nonprofit organizations, as well as for family, friends, and for sale.
