Mr. Henry Burdick, who has served as Chairman of the Board of Martha’s Village & Kitchen since November 2001, has accepted the position of Chairman Emeritus, whereby he will continue to serve on the Board and Executive Committee.

Mr. Burdick has been a tireless proponent of the impoverished and has provided forward thinking leadership and direction to Martha’s as we have grown and developed into the Coachella Valley’s most highly respected homeless services provider and advocate for the homeless and impoverished, especially children. We would like to thank Mr. Burdick for his time, financial support, and dedication to our cause over his long tenure.

Jonathan Espy has been elected Chairman of the Board of Martha’s Village & Kitchen. Mr. Espy first joined the Board in January 2022 and serves on the Board’s executive, development, finance, and nominations committees. Mr. Espy has served as Co-Chairman of the Board with Mr. Burdick for the past year.

Mr. Espy is a retired Silicon Valley entrepreneur. He co-founded Corlux Corporation, a fiber optic company in 2000. The company was acquired in 2007, since then he has concentrated on investing and philanthropic pursuits.

“We are excited to welcome Mr. Espy as our Chairman,” said Sam Hollenbeck, CEO of Martha’s Village & Kitchen. “He brings a fresh perspective and tremendous leadership skills to our organization, including a passion for serving the impoverished. We look forward to his leadership as Martha’s continues to expand across the Coachella Valley.”

“I’m proud of Martha’s stellar reputation and industry leading outcomes, and I’m confident in handing over the leadership to Jonathan. Martha’s has been and will continue to be one of the great joys of my life,” said Mr. Burdick.

“It’s my honor to serve as Chairman of Martha’s Village & Kitchen,” said Mr. Espy. “I’m grateful for Henry’s leadership and friendship, and excited to carry forward his legacy, as well as continue working with the management team and the board as Martha’s grows our services in the Coachella Valley.”
