Two new board members have been added to the local nonprofit organization, the Fishers Youth Assistance Program (YAP).  Real estate attorney Carolina Rashidfarokhi and community  volunteer Denise Retzner were each approved unanimously to three-year terms.

Rashidfarokhi is CEO of CP Investments LLC, a local real estate investment company. She has lived in Fishers for five years with her husband, Peyman, and two children. Retzner, who has volunteered with a number of community, religious, educational and sports organizations, is an 18-year resident of Fishers. She and her husband, Rodney, have four sons who have either graduated or are attending Hamilton Southeastern High School.

“We are so excited to welcome Carolina and Denise to our growing board,” FYAP Board President Leah McGrath said in a YAP news release. “They both bring a wealth of talents and energy to the important work of our early intervention advocates and community donors and volunteers. We believe they can bring new ideas to help our organization connect families to important resources when they are in crisis.”

Fishers YAP works with local school officials and other organizations to help young people in need.
