  • For All Seasons Appoints Directors of Finance and Development
    For All Seasons recently announced the appointment of Sidney Davenport-Trond as Director of Development and Hallie Pentheny as Director of Finance.
    Sidney Davenport-Trond has been appointed as Director of Development at For All Seasons. She is co-owner of Five0Eight, LLC, a hospitality consulting agency, which she runs with her husband. Before founding the company, she was the creator and co-owner for over 20 years of Gourmet by the Bay, LLC, in St. Michaels, Maryland—a gourmet food retailer, caterer, and event planning company. She also has experience in advertising and market research. She attended The French Culinary Institute in New York, New York, and completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism and speech communications at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Trond has been active with local nonprofits, including serving on the Boards of Directors for CASA of the Mid-Shore and The Country School.
    “The mission of For All Seasons is what drew me to apply for the position. Access to mental health services for everyone is deeply personal to me. Mental health impacts every family in some way, and I’m honored to help sustain an organization that provides hope, healing, and education across our community,” Trond states.
    “I’ve been looking for a role that combines my marketing/business, event planning, and nonprofit experience. I’ve wanted to focus on development and planning for a mission-driven organization, and For All Seasons was the perfect fit,” she adds.
    “The unique part about fundraising for For All Seasons is that I get to educate people about the breadth and depth of services we offer, and every single time, I see a lightbulb go off. It’s a rare occasion that someone says, ‘Well, that organization doesn’t touch my life.’ This agency touches so many because everyone knows someone who needs mental health support, education, or training. When people realize what For All Seasons does, they are genuinely more inclined to financially support our efforts,” Trond shares.
    Trond lives in St. Michaels with her husband, 14-year-old daughter, and her dog. She is a horseback rider, water-skier, and beach lover, and enjoys traveling to experience great food, music, theatre, and culture.
    Hallie Pentheny recently relocated from New Hampshire, where she was Controller at New England College in Henniker, New Hampshire. In that position, Pentheny led the finance team and operations, supported senior leadership in strategic planning and financial management, and participated actively in the school community. Prior to that role, she served as Accounting Manager at the college. She also has experience working in state government as an administrator and was Director of Finance and Operations at the New Hampshire Department of Business and Economic Affairs. Pentheny completed a master’s degree in accounting at Southern New Hampshire University and a Bachelor of Arts degree at Louisiana State University.
    “I have seven years of nonprofit experience and wanted a position that would be very meaningful and important. The people here are so pleasant and sensitive—it’s a really nice place to work. The agency is also mission-focused on a community need and serving a diverse audience,” Pentheny comments.
    “The teamwork, collaboration, and information sharing at For All Seasons is unique—it’s just not like that everywhere. My goal is to work with the team to streamline processes to improve grant reporting and to make financial processes here faster and more efficient,” she shares.
    Pentheny is in the process of moving to Easton permanently, where she will live with her husband and her dog. She has three grown children. She enjoys walking and hopes to get involved in sailing, pickleball, and art after getting settled.
