He then moved to Michigan and served in leadership roles at Bethany Christian Services, Northern Family Intervention Services, and Camps Leelanau and Kohahna Foundation. Marc returned to the state of North Carolina to serve as Director of Implementation and Staff Engagement for Children's Hope Alliance in Barium Springs, NC - his most recent position before coming home to BGHNC.

A Licensed Clinical Social Worker, he is also a Board Member of the Teaching Family Association - an evidence-based model of care that is widely used in the industry.

Marc and his wife have two young adult children and are excited to have been given the opportunity to return to Lake Waccamaw.

Human Resources is truly Amanda Formyduval's passion. Taking HR classes at Mount Olive College and later completing her graduate degree in HR at Western Carolina University inspired Amanda to pursue HR as her life’s career and passion. While working at Southeastern Community College, Amanda was able to put her passion into action. Then the mission of BGHNC spoke to her heart.

“I see a lot of opportunity here at BGHNC and opportunities for helping people here develop professionally, building processes, and creating ways to boost employee morale,” she said.
