“I have had the pleasure of being one of the long-term Board Members of the Snowshoe Foundation. I have really enjoyed the opportunity to work with the great people that have served, and, are serving on our board. The Snowshoe Foundation Board is responsible for raising funds and selecting the grant recipients. These grants, and scholarships are making a difference for the people in our communities.
I have also had the opportunity to work with, and serve on, the boards of the United Way in Randolph County, the Elkins YMCA, Randolph County Creative Arts Center and Women’s Aid in Crisis. I also enjoyed serving several years as an Assistant Boy Scout Leader and on Elkins City Council for 8 years.
Along with the Snowshoe Foundation, I am currently serving as a board member on the Randolph County Housing Authority and Allegheny Springs Homeowner Association.
I, along with my business partner of 28 years, Clifford Marstiller, CFP, co-own and operate Innovative Investments Inc., a Financial Planning Firm, in Elkins, WV. I am married to Family Court Judge, Lori Haynes, and we have three sons, Tyler, Nic and Maddax.
The Snowshoe Foundation could not exist without the support of Snowshoe, the company which, through its support, has allowed us to raise and distribute grants and scholarships of over $2 Million.”
Coby is the Human Resources Director for Snowshoe Mountain. She joined the Snowshoe team in July of 2002 with her sights set on building a relationship between her community and the resort. She came by way of Pocahontas County Senior Citizens, where she held the position of Executive Director for ten years and managed a staff of 70. Her first position at the resort as an Administrative Assistant reported to Ruth Bachman, Executive Assistant to Snowshoe Presidents, CEOs, and COOs for the last 33 years. Coby quickly learned the complex intricacies of Snowshoe under Ruth’s tutelage.
Coby worked, together with Snowshoe, to charter the Snowshoe Foundation while establishing a Board of Directors, gaining public charity status as a nonprofit organization, fundraising, and building a scholarship program. The Snowshoe Foundation has granted over $2.5 million to organizations through grants and in higher education scholarships. She assisted with managing a successful pass-through grant establishing the Pocahontas County Prevention Coalition. This organization continues to serve the community of Pocahontas today through Prevention Services and Programming.
The resort recognized the difference that the Foundation was making and quickly tacked on the title of Snowshoe Mountain Community Liaison. She joined the Human Resources team of Snowshoe in 2007 and began her journey of building bridges between the resort and employees, while learning the ropes of the HR world. She joined the Leadership Team of Snowshoe Mountain as Interim Director of Human Resources in late September 2011.
She was offered the permanent role of HR Director as Snowshoe in January 2012. Her most recent accomplishment encompasses the professional credential of SHRM-CP – Society for Human Resource Management, Certified Professional.
Her former position of the Snowshoe Foundation Executive Director and Community Liaison position continues to report through Coby in Human Resources at Snowshoe.
