The Cape Henlopen Educational Foundation has elected Diaz J. Bonville to a three-year term on its board of directors.

Bonville serves as president of West Side New Beginnings Inc. and is a co-founder of West Rehoboth Children and Youth Program. He recently retired from the federal government as Sussex and Kent County community outreach coordinator for Delaware Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester.

He has over 30 years of experience working with potential achievers, and is a recipient of several community service awards and achievements. His volunteer experiences have gained local, state and national media attention.

“Diaz will make a great addition to our board,” said Rick Grier-Reynolds, CHEF president. “He is a community activist who works to improve the lives of those around him, especially young people.”
