MEET OUR BOARD

My name is Brandi Clanton, and I am the Executive Director of Recovery Services Unlimited, where I've been providing outpatient substance use disorder treatment, recovery coaching, and recovery housing services since 2017. As a Licensed Master Level Social Worker (LMSW) and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC), I am deeply passionate about the recovery community, particularly because I have been in recovery myself since 2016. My personal journey fuels my dedication to helping others navigate their recovery, and I bring that commitment to my role as President of the Board of Directors at the Alano Club of Battle Creek. I recently married my best friend, who is also in recovery, and together we are devoted to supporting our community.

 My name is Fernando Rosa, and I am the Vice President of the Insurance Network Agency and a licensed agent with the company, where I have worked since 2006. Over the years, I have developed a strong foundation in finance and accounting, public relations, and non-profit board involvement. My experience in strategic planning, financial oversight, and community outreach allows me to contribute meaningfully to the initiatives and goals of the Alano Club. I am passionate about making a positive impact and supporting the growth and success of the organization. I lead an active lifestyle and have a passion for smoking BBQ. I also value the importance of spending quality time with friends and family. 

With over 15 years of experience in the financial industry, Kyra McMann brings a wealth of knowledge and strategic insight to the Alano Club Board. As a mortgage loan officer, she has a strong foundation in finance and accounting, which she uses to support budgeting, financial planning, and long-term sustainability efforts for the organization.

Kyra is passionate about connecting people and resources to support meaningful causes. Her background in networking and fundraising, along with her active involvement with Habitat for Humanity—including leading credit-building workshops and participating in the Women’s Build initiative—reflects her deep commitment to service and community empowerment.

Kyra is dedicated to building strong, healthy relationships that foster lasting impact. She brings practical, solution-focused thinking to Board discussions and is excited to contribute her time, energy, and expertise to help advance the Alano Club’s mission.

My name is Fred Evans, and I am proud to be a lifetime member of the Alano Club, where I have had the privilege of serving on various board committees and as a board member both in the past and present. My involvement with the Club is deeply meaningful to me, as it allows me to give back to the community that has supported me throughout my journey. One of the highlights of my time with the Alano Club was serving as the construction manager during the reconstruction of our building as part of the Capital Campaign through the Community Foundation. It was a rewarding experience to contribute to a project that ensures our facilities can continue to support those in recovery for years to come. I have been blessed with 29 years in recovery, and throughout that time, I have had the honor of sponsoring and mentoring many men who are new to recovery. It has been incredibly fulfilling to guide others on their path to sobriety and to witness the positive changes in their lives.

Brett Sutherland is a proud member of Narcotics Anonymous and has been in recovery for over four and a half years. Committed to personal growth, Brett actively works with a sponsor and continues to practice the Twelve Steps, serving as a role model and source of inspiration to many in the recovery community.

With a strong background in customer service and excellent communication skills, Brett brings a people-focused approach to his work at the Alano Club. He is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in accounting, providing valuable financial insight and organizational support to the Board.

Brett is passionate about creating a welcoming environment for individuals seeking recovery and is always willing to contribute his time and energy to strengthen programming and community outreach. He values teamwork and collaboration and is dedicated to helping others build a life rooted in stability, connection, and service.

My name is Scott McCann and I bring a wealth of experience in finance, networking, and public relations to my role as a board member at the Alano Club. My 35-year career as a stockbroker in the financial services industry has provided me with valuable insights and skills that I am eager to apply in support of the Club’s mission. Beyond my professional life, I have been blessed with a rewarding personal journey. My wife and I have raised four wonderful daughters over our 44 years of marriage, and we are now the proud grandparents of five amazing grandchildren. My life has also been deeply shaped by my recovery. I have been actively involved in Narcotics Anonymous, working the 12 steps and sponsoring others within the fellowship.

I am committed to using my experience and skills to help others on their recovery journey and to support the continued growth and success of the Club.

 My name is Roy Tooke and as a proud lifetime member of the Alano Club, I have deep respect for the long and impactful history this organization holds within the Battle Creek community. I previously served on the Board of Directors, and I am excited to return and once again contribute to the Club’s important mission. Throughout my career, I have held various leadership roles across the Battle Creek community, including serving as a nonprofit executive director, a college administrator, and a psychotherapist within the hospital system. Currently, I operate a successful private psychotherapy practice, which I founded to continue my passion for helping others. I hold immense respect for those who make the courageous decision to pursue recovery from addiction, and I consider it a true honor to be a part of an organization that plays such a vital role in their journey. The Alano Club has always been a quiet yet powerful force in the lives of so many, and I am privileged to support its ongoing work and vision. I am dedicated to continuing this legacy of service and helping strengthen the recovery community in Battle Creek.
