Joshua and Madelyne Bowden

Josh served as a firefighter for 9 years in the valley and is a veteran of the Almeda Fire. He currently is serving as an EMT in the ER at Asante. This experience has provided him with a unique knowledge of the needs of our community. He also has previous experience as a president and vice president of 2 other non profits, and is a successful grant writer.
