All six candidates are expected to be present for the community forum.
Here’s a brief overview of the candidates, based on information they have provided to us:
Michael “Mick” Homan
Mick is a seasoned C-suite executive with over 35 years of financial leadership, including experience at a Fortune 50 company and in the public accounting profession. He has built and led high-performance global teams and brings extensive boardroom experience to the table. His key priorities include fiscally responsible investment in utility infrastructure and recreational facilities, as well as rebuilding IVGID’s workforce to make it an employer of choice for top talent.
Michelle Jezycki
Michelle, a proud Incline Village native and Incline High graduate, has returned home after a successful career in Washington, D.C., where she worked as the Director of HR at the U.S. Senate. Now a management consultant, Michelle is passionate about improving IVGID’s staff, culture, and morale. She’s focused on the responsible management of IVGID’s assets and believes in a proactive approach to leadership, remarking, “We are better than this.”
Harry Swenson
Harry has been a full-time resident of Incline Village for over a decade, but his love for the area dates back to the late 1960s. A retired NASA scientist and executive, Harry has overseen complex projects with budgets exceeding hundreds of millions of dollars. He has received three NASA medals for his technical and management expertise. A dedicated community volunteer, Harry’s extensive professional background, financial acumen, and deep commitment to Incline Village make him a strong candidate for the board.
Michaela Tonking
Michaela is a lifelong member of the community seeking re-election to the IVGID Board. With deep roots in Incline Village, she has a keen understanding of local challenges, particularly the need to rebuild and restore stability at IVGID after significant turnover. Michaela’s background in accounting and experience working with state governments and Local Education Agencies give her a unique blend of financial expertise and public administration insight. This makes her a strong candidate to continue guiding IVGID’s future.
