Board of Directors

Our Governance & Leadership —Dedicated Stewards Committed to Transparency and Community Service

Four named officers. Four written jobs. No anonymous "advisory circle." Minutes stay with the Secretary. The checkbook stays with the Treasurer. The IRS officer of record is the President.

Standardized 4-role structure

The people who sign, count, file, and deliver

Each officer holds a written job description. The English bios below describe how those duties look on a given week in Saint Cloud.

Position 1 · Lead Executive & Verified IRS Officer

Eric Ochala H Bagho

Official title: Principal Officer / President

Main functions: Overall leadership, legal representation, signing official documents, and setting strategic direction.

Concurrent role: Senior partnership relations and overall supervision.

Oversees strategic mission execution, IRS 501(c)(3) public-charity compliance, fiscal transparency, and community outreach alliances across Saint Cloud, FL, USA. Eric is the officer named on IRS Letter 947 (C/O Eric Ochala Bagho) and the person who greets the Tuesday meal line when a family arrives without an appointment.

Position 2 · Financial & Compliance Stewardship

Denise N. Rossi, CPA, CGMA

Official title: Treasurer / Financial Officer

Main functions: Budget management, income and expenses, tax and financial reporting, and asset transparency.

Concurrent role: Financial regulatory compliance (Compliance & Form 990 Oversight).

Oversees budget allocations, fiscal transparency, Form 990 readiness, and ensures 88%+ of all donated funds go directly to active community outreach programs. Denise reconciles the crisis-fund ledger every Friday and will walk a donor through a receipt line by line if asked.

Position 3 · Governance, Records & Digital Infrastructure

David F. Adebayo, LL.M.

Official title: Secretary & Operations Lead

Main functions: Maintaining legal records, meeting minutes, and technology and website infrastructure.

Concurrent role: Internal administrative management (Administrative & Legal Governance).

Maintains corporate records, regulatory filings, conflict of interest disclosures, and oversees digital operations infrastructure to maintain organizational integrity. Board minutes, the conflict log, and the website keys sit on David's desk —not in a shared personal inbox.

Headshot of Hannah J. Sanders, Program and Outreach Director
Position 4 · Community Outreach & Program Execution

Hannah J. Sanders, M.S.

Official title: Program & Outreach Director

Main functions: Designing and directly delivering charity programs and community projects.

Concurrent role: Volunteer coordination and social communications (Field Operations & Community Relations).

Directs frontline program execution, beneficiary intake workflows, volunteer coordination, and strategic alliances with local community partners. If a Saturday mentor does not show, Hannah is the person who rearranges the table so no child waits alone in the parking lot.

Written policies

Governance & policy standards

These three rules are not wall art. They are the documents David files after each quarterly meeting.

Policy 01

Conflict of Interest

Every officer signs an annual disclosure. If a relative owns a catering van we might hire, that fact goes in the minutes before a vote. Recusal is required when a board member, spouse, or controlled entity would receive more than a de minimis benefit. The Secretary keeps the signed forms with the corporate book at 1170 Playa Del Sol Ln.

Policy 02

Whistleblower protections

Staff, volunteers, and vendors may report suspected misuse of funds, safety issues, or false statements on a filing without fear of losing a shift. Reports go to the Treasurer and, if the Treasurer is implicated, to the President. Retaliation is grounds for removal. We would rather hear an uncomfortable story on Monday than read it in a complaint on Friday.

Policy 03

Annual independent audit commitment

The board commits to an independent financial review each calendar year, and to a full audit when revenue or grant terms require it. Form 990 is prepared on the December 31 year-end. The Treasurer presents draft numbers to the board before filing. Donors may request a copy of the most recent return by emailing admin@henrybagho.org or by using IRS EO Search.

Questions about a vote, a related-party payment, or a missing minute book may be sent to the Secretary at the same address. We answer those letters in writing.
