Gary Hough, Candidate for Treasurer

I am Gary Hough, and I have been Treasurer of KOPSC since May of 2022 and would like to continue in that role for the next year. In the past two years, we have streamlined the KOPSC payment system with online payments, DocuSign, and we updated to QuickBooks online.

My wife Jacqueline and I have been members of KOPSC for around 18 years and have been on a ski trip or two every year since then. We have lived in Princeton, NJ since 2006. I grew up in Ewing, NJ and graduated from Rider University in 1981 with a double major in accounting and computer science.

I retired in March 2021 after almost 40 years from a business that I had owned and managed since 1992. We had 25 employees and sales of more than $50 million dollars. I spent a significant part of my time overseeing the finances and accounting of the company, including closing the books every month and filling in for my staff as needed. I have even done the company’s bank reconciliations and all types of tax returns if needed.

I served on the Board of Trustees for a health insurance program for more than 30 years and helped set strategy and financial oversite. I was the VP of the Fuel Merchants of NJ for more than 25 years.

I am very familiar with QuickBooks, as we used this software for two smaller businesses that we owned. I did all of the initial setups and monthly accounting for these two businesses. In addition, I am very familiar with Microsoft Excel software.

Anne Ceres, Candidate for Secretary

I’m Anne Ceres, and I’m running for the position of Secretary. I have many years of experience as a legal assistant and am also a travel associate with Holidaze Ski Tours, specializing in group cruises and land tours. I have been a member of KOPSC since 2007 and was the Skimeister for a couple of years. I live in Wilmington and love to travel. I have been on a few of our ski trips and am thankful for the many friends I have made here at KOPSC. I would like to give back by continuing to serve as your club Secretary.

Jenny Wong, Candidate for Member-at-Large

I have been a member of the KOPSC for over the past twenty years. I have served two years on the monthly Program Planning as co-chair and have hosted several book club meetings at my house.

My previous position was an international auditor for a pharmaceutical company. I have been chairman of the ISPE-NJ (International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineers) and president of the ASQC-NJ (American Society of Quality Control).

I would like to give back to the club so that it can continue to serve their members in future activities that can be enjoyed by all.

Thank you for consideration.

Dehlia Dunn, Candidate for Member-at-Large

My name is Dehlia Dunn and I joined KOPSC shortly before COVID based upon the recommendation of a tennis buddy. My first KOPSC event was a bus trip to Stowe in 2022 where I met a great group of people. The next year, I signed up for three ski trips, playing roommate roulette and hitting the jackpot by meeting more ski buddies. This year, I opted for the international experience and had a fantastic time in Val di Fassa and Venice — meeting new friends and reconnecting with others. Skiing in the Dolomites was an amazing experience but the people I met truly made it memorable. In addition to the ski trips, I also enjoy the Friday evening social hours with the club and if we are playing pickleball first — even better! I haven’t made it to a KOPSC hike yet, but maybe this will be my year...

I am a single mom to three daughters, one son-in-law, two spirited granddaughters and the best black lab you will ever meet. I live in West Chester and often volunteer to host some of the social hours, south of King of Prussia. Currently, I work in Product Marketing at JPMorgan Chase and have 30+ years of professional experience working in Advertising, Marketing and Communications roles across a variety of industry verticals.

I am interested in serving in the Member at Large position for the next year because I enjoy meeting new people and love a good ski tale (like a fish tale, but with a skier’s twist!). If I am elected to the position, I look forward to working with all of you during the coming year.

Gavin Murdoch Candidate for Vice President

I am Gavin Murdoch, current Vice President of the KOPSC Board since the 2022-2023 ski season. In that role, I have managed the Board and Committee monthly meetings, ensuring we get full engagement and thorough review of club activities and decisions. I am currently running the preparations for the 2025 Spring Banquet with a team of volunteers, and we hope for a great event.

Professionally, I have been in the pharmaceutical industry for more than 35 years, serving in operational, technical, procurement and business development leadership roles for both Merck, ThermoFisher and now Abzena as SVP Commercial Strategy. I am also serving as a consulting Board member for Ash Ingredients, a women owned supplier to pharma. I am also an active member of Drug Chemical and Associated Trades, a leading industry business networking organization, serving on multiple committees and as a member of the Board. I have learned a number of business and communication skills over the years that I hope help me support KOPSC needs.

I have enjoyed belonging to the club, working with the committees and the Board to bring fun and varied ski trips and other activities to the members of KOPSC. I love to ski, sail, and am learning golf. I met my wife, Laura on a ski trip to Stowe.

I am running for the position of Vice President of KOPSC to further support the club and help deliver the outstanding trips and activities.

Rick Bunn Candidate for President

I’m Rick Bunn, current President of KOPSC. I have been a member of the club since 2016. I am married and have two adult children who are also members and have been on KOPSC ski trips with me over the last several years. I started skiing at the age of four and have enjoyed the sport my entire life and have made some great friends at KOPSC events. I am an entrepreneur with business interests in the energy sector, land development and residential home construction. KOPSC has provided me with a lot of enjoyment, and I want to continue to use my business skills to contribute to the ongoing success of the ski club.

I am once again running for the position of President of KOPSC. The last several years, I have been Member-at-Large and Chair of the Ski Trip Planning Committee, working with other members of the club to plan and execute ski trips. My goal as both Member-at-Large and Chair of the Ski Trip Planning Committee was to always make decisions that provided the greatest benefit for the largest number of our members. If I am re-elected as your President, I will continue to work hard to make our club the best it can be for all the KOPSC members.
