Greetings, Bellewood friends!
As someone who spent much of their childhood at Bellewood, I am very excited as I assume responsibility as Chair of the Board. Bellewood paved the way for me to live a successful life, and now I can help pave the way for Bellewood’s future.
I came to Bellewood in 1956 and received tremendous care, a solid education and was connected with supportive adults who prepared me for adulthood. I learned the importance of self-sufficiency and hard work, and I have carried the lessons I learned at Bellewood with me throughout my life.
After leaving Bellewood, I received my undergraduate and master’s degrees from Pace University in New York. I served in the U.S. Army, spending a year in Vietnam. After 18 years working at IBM, I moved to Lexmark where I retired as vice president of sales and marketing.
This homecoming at Bellewood is deeply meaningful to me, and it is my goal to help elevate our work and increase awareness of the incredible impact we makes across Kentucky. I look forward to having your support as together we help Bellewood to a solid, bright future.
Reed Farley
Chair, Bellewood Board of Directors
