New & Retiring TACC Board Members

We would like to welcome three new TACC Board of Directors for 2023; board members can serve three, three year terms. We are fortunate to have a diverse, experienced board, representing various parts of our region and varying industry sectors. Those new members are Kelani Craig (Mercersburg Moose Lodge and Harry Lackhove American Legion Post 517), Malachi Maurer (WellSpan Health), and Samantha Wagner (Community State Bank).

Kelani Craig is a proud, lifelong resident of Mercersburg. She graduated from James Buchanan High School in 2000. Kelani has two daughters, Allayah (15) and Aliza (10), and believes in instilling a good work ethic and the importance of community involvement in her girls. She has some college experience in accounting and criminal justice, and at one point even assisted our Mercersburg Police Department, the Borough, and as a security officer at the Mercersburg Academy. For the last 17 years, Kelani has built a career in the hospitality industry, working with great teams at the American Legion Post 517 and the Mercersburg Moose Lodge. In her spare time, she and her daughters enjoy shopping, eating out, and spending time with family and friends. Kelani was awarded Volunteer of the Year from TACC in 2022.

Malachi Maurer is a physician liaison manager at WellSpan Health. Originally from Union County, Malachi moved to Mercersburg 12 years ago and has been working for Summit/WellSpan Health in various capacities ever since. He has a BA in Communications from Waynesburg University and an MHA from Wilson College. He is married to his wife, Ashley, and together with their three sons they reside in Mercersburg.  In his free time, Malachi enjoys hunting, fishing, coaching volleyball, and attending Penn State sporting events with his family.

Samantha Wagner has lived in Fulton County for 15 years and started her banking career in 2011. She has worked in various positions, starting as a Floating Teller and working her way up to the Branch Supervisor. In Samantha’s free time, she enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. In November of 2021, she joined Community State Bank as the Branch Supervisor for the Mercersburg office. Prior to joining Community State Bank, Samantha was the Assistant Community Office Manager at F&M Trust. She enjoys taking part in community events and feels that being present in the community is a key role in her position at Community State Bank; which also gives her a chance to get to know the people in the community that she serves.

The new faces join the other members of the board, which include: Derek Stoy, serving as this year’s TACC Chairperson (EHS Engineer at Blue Spring Egg Farms); Tracy Leidy, serving as Vice Chairperson (Vice President of Leidy's Woodworking); Angela Heefner, serving as Treasurer (Branch Leader at Truist Bank); Amanda Woodring, serving as Secretary (Owner of Elite Cleaning); Anne Miller (Director of Finance & Business at Mount St. Mary's University); Kevin Raymer (President of KBR Industrial Services); Chaz Timmons (Personal Lines & Life Agent at PDM Insurance Agency); Dr. Michael Pedersen (Owner of Brownstone Chiropractic and Mayor of Mercersburg); and Russell Phenicie (Production Manager at Blue Springs Egg Farm).

We also wish to thank several retiring board members for their service and dedication to TACC’s mission: Annalisa Ambrisco (Branch Executive Officer at Orrstown Bank) for 9 years of service, Katrina Gayman (Director of Skier Services at Whitetail Resort) for 9 years of service, and Kristin Burdette (President of Burdette Ironworks).
