Meet the Board

Susan Odell, President

Though newly elected as board president, Susan is far from a rookie. She has been passionate about food education and healthy eating since 1998 when she left her day job in financial management to attend cooking school. Since then she’s been a cooking instructor, an advocate for connecting local growers with consumers and most recently an entrepreneur with a small specialty food business. Susan was involved in the initial creation of EATS Park City and is thrilled to have witnessed the organization blossom into what is now Summit Community Gardens - EATS.

Melissa Stock, Past President

Melissa served as President of the Board from 2021 - 2025. Her nonprofit management experience helped direct, develop and grow the organization, and expand programs in equitable directions that align with the values of the Park City community.

She recently moved to Park City from Washington DC where she served as the senior financial officer of an international NGO for fourteen years. She supervised accountancy, investment management, and financial reporting across the organization.

Since moving to Utah, Melissa enjoys consulting for various international nonprofit organizations, participating on local nonprofit boards and committees, and advising small businesses. Her passion for health and nutrition began while raising her two elementary age children, whom often had to be reminded as to why they could not have pizza for every meal.
