Ben’s Ranch Foundation has elected two new members to its Board of Directors. The Indiana nonprofit connects teens struggling with mental health challenges to jobs on farms and in stables and equine therapy facilities. The jobs help give the teens purpose and exposure to the healing powers of animals and nature.

Bonnie Riley is Assistant Vice President and Executive Banker at Community First Bank of Indiana. She has a 25-year career in banking and is active in the Westfield-area community. Riley has served two terms on the Carmel Chamber of Commerce Membership Committee. She is also a past student mentor with Starfish initiative, a former board member of Prom Genie and a graduate of the Hamilton County Leadership Academy.

Carmel-resident Kathryn Arnold is a Registered Nurse with Bachelor’s and Master’s of Science degrees in Nursing. She is currently a Clinical Affairs Manager with Lungpacer Medical where she oversees RESCUE 3 clinical trial sites. She has previously held positions with Boston Scientific, Guidant and Intermedics.
