Board of Directors

FOUNDERS

Jerry & Judy Bohl

Judy Bohl was born and raised in East Detroit (now East Pointe), Michigan. She received 12 years of formal education and 71 years of “life education.” She and Jerry married in 1965 and moved to Southwest Michigan in 1967. She has always shown great care and interest in children, raising hers and others. During visits to developing countries since 1995, she realized the problem of millions of individuals who have no access to, or money for, bacteria and virus-free water, especially young children. After learning about the UV light water purification system, she and Jerry helped develop the water purification unit CWFW uses today, and, as they say, the rest is history. CWFW has truly been a blessing in her life.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Executive Board

Lucy has been involved with CWFW since 2011, beginning with participation on the first University of Toledo Walk for Water Toledo Leadership team. Throughout college Lucy worked in various capacities with Walk for Water ranging from Day-of Director, Race Director, and Community Outreach Director. She enjoyed seeing how much Walk for Water Toledo has grown from its inception year and enjoys supporting students who want to live out their compassion and desire to make a difference in people’s lives.

Lucy became a board member in September 2014 with her primary focus being the connection with the University of Toledo collaboration with Clean Water. She traveled to El Salvador in March 2015 for a combined University of Toledo/CWFW Delegation. To her, CWFW is a unique organization, full of passion, growth and struggle. She enjoys the challenges and rewards that come from being part of the organization and the team of board members who aim to provide a human right to so many in need. Lucy has background as a chemical engineer at a refinery and a data analyst for a Catholic high school fundraising team. In her spare time, Lucy enjoys partaking in all the community of Toledo has to offer.

Megan Davidson – Vice Chair

Megan Davidson is a graduate from the University of Toledo with her BS in Chemical Engineering. Currently she works as a Materials Formulation Engineering at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Megan got involved with Clean Water for the World through their partnership with the University of Toledo’s freshman engineering project. From there, she went on to be active in University of Toledo’s Walk for Water 5k, serving as Day-of Director and Education Director. As Education Director she gave presentations to 30+ 7th and 8th grade classes about clean water and CWFW. She also brought a group of high school students to the University of Toledo to learn more about the water purification methods and the science behind them. In 2017, she joined other UT students for a delegation trip to El Salvador and mentored other chemical engineering freshman project groups in 2018 and 2019. 

Her favorite memory of CWFW is going to El Salvador and realizing how much of an impact having clean water can make on individuals by improving their health, education, and general quality of life. Her motivation to be part of the CWFW board is to help bring clean water to those in need in a way that uses her engineering skillset. Her hope for CWFW is to make more people aware of the water crisis and injustices and create a pathway to a healthier life for those we serve.

In her spare time, Megan enjoys being outside doing anything from hiking and backpacking to kayaking and rock climbing, especially if she can bring her dog, Leo. 

Brice Quillen – Treasurer

Elizabeth “Brice” Quillen is a recent graduate from Emory & Henry College, where she received a BS in Business Management, a BA in Geography, and a BA in International Spanish Commerce. Brice resides in Marion, Virginia where she currently works as the Finance Manager for Blue Ridge Job Corps Center.

Brice began her journey with Clean Water for the World in 2019, when she decided to plan, orchestrate, and host a Walk for Water 5k fundraiser. This race was a huge success and raised sufficient funding to pay for the construction of a new water filtration system. Brice’s decision to raise money for clean water initiatives was greatly influenced by her studies on geographical inequality and Spanish-speaking countries; this information paired with an alumni connection to executive director Krista Dover, led her to being part of Clean Water for the World. Since then, Brice has served in several fundraising capacities within the organization and has recently taken over social media content and creation in January 2021.

Brice’s passion in life is to utilize her skills to become the best global citizen she can be. In her spare time, Brice enjoys painting, yoga, and traveling. Her motivation to be on the CWFW board is to help bring clean water to those in need by ensuring the financial longevity of the organization, while continuing to promote CWFW through social media. Her hope for CWFW is to continue making clean water available to those in need world-wide!

Olivia first heard of CWFW through her work with Global Partners: Running Waters and Jorge Castro from ASUVI. She is excited to help continue CWFW’s mission to bring clean water to communities in need. She has lived in Cusco, Peru and while she had the financial resources to purchase bottled water, she communed with folks who do not have the same fortune. She wants to be part of CWFW’s work that positively impacts communities through partnership and education. 

One of her passions is helping students experience a new perspective through study abroad programs. She especially loves to lead trips to Guatemala on trips where students have an opportunity to visit and live with the local community. She shares, “This experience allows students to gain empathy through understanding the importance of potable water, education and finding a solution to climate change.”

STAFF

Krista Dover

Krista Dover is the Executive Director of Clean Water for the World. Clean Water for the World (CWFW) provides clean water purifiers to communities who lack access to potable water. With a focus primarily in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Haiti, Krista leads a team of local water promoters who, through partner organizations, accompany communities in their community development projects.

A Detroiter at heart, Krista was a transplant from the South after attending Emory & Henry College studying Public Policy & Community Service and Psychology. Placed in Detroit through the US-2 Program (now Global Mission Fellow) through the United Methodist Church, she worked at the N.O.A.H. Project at Central United Methodist Church and a number of other non-profits, including Urban Neighborhood Initiatives in Southwest Detroit, in her nearly 10 years of living in Detroit.

Her yearning to travel took her to Guatemala several times while living in Detroit. After completing her Master’s in Social Work at the University of Michigan, she bought a one-way ticket back to Guatemala. For the happenstance that is Detroit’s Peace and Justice network, Krista was contracted in 2016 to work with Clean Water for the World as it transitioned from an all-volunteer organization to a full-fledged non-profit.

In her tenure with CWFW, the organization has honed its programming to focus on meeting the stated needs of the community and raising awareness of what access to water means at a local, regional and international level by leading delegations and pilot projects in partnership with the University of Toledo School of Engineering. CWFW believes that clean water is a human right and this is the driving force behind its passion to provide clean water to as many as possible.
