Leadership

Connie is Executive Director for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Eastern Montana. Because of their small staff, Connie finds herself doing House Manager duties still…and she says her jobs range from finding someone to help fix a broken toilet, to consoling a family, to making construction decisions, to hosting donors and fundraisers. “It’s exciting because I never really know what each day will bring!” They also have a part time development director that they have added, but only in the last ten years. Connie basically IS the Ronald McDonald House of Billings, and because of Connie, The House thrives!

​

When asked what her biggest challenge is at The House she told us, “It takes a whole community effort to keep our organization afloat. We rely heavily on our community for funding and volunteering and are grateful for all their support.”

​

We also asked her what has made her stay at RMHC for 35 years, her reply came quickly, “The families that you get to know and help. And being a part of sharing with them as they go through different trials and tribulations. Celebrating the joyful days when families get to go home. The Ronald McDonald House of Billings is one big family – everybody supports one another. It’s been fun to watch it grow over the years, and see the major changes in Billings’ medical community, and that they have taken such an advanced role in rural MT and Wyoming.”
