Allen Biaggi Named Tahoe Fund Board Chair

July 20, 2020 by Skyler Monaghan

Todd Chapman Joins Tahoe Fund Board of Directors

TAHOE CITY, Calif. (July 21, 2020) – As the nonprofit Tahoe Fund celebrates 10 years of service in support of environmental projects in the Tahoe Basin, the organization’s board of directors gains new leadership with the naming of longtime board member Allen Biaggi as its new board chair, and the addition of Todd Chapman to its board of directors.

Biaggi, a third generation Nevadan from Douglas County, has extensive environmental experience and has been a member of the Tahoe Fund Board of Directors since 2010. He served as the Director of Nevada’s Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (a cabinet level position) under governors Guinn and Gibbons, and as the Administrator of the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection under governors Miller and Guinn.



During his tenure with the State of Nevada, Biaggi served on numerous boards and commissions including the Commission on Workplace Safety, the Governor’s Climate Change Committee and the State Petroleum Board. Most notably for the Lake Tahoe Basin, he served on the Bi-State Fire Commission in the wake of the Angora Fire and sat on the Governing Board of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency for six years, including three years as its chairman. He succeeds Katy Simon Holland as board chair, a role Holland held for two years. She will remain on the Tahoe Fund Board of Directors.

“It has been a pleasure to serve on the Tahoe Fund board for the past 10 years,” said Allen Biaggi, Tahoe Fund board chair. “I look forward to taking on this leadership role at a time where we are celebrating 10 years of success, while staying laser focused on the impact we want to have over the next 10 years.”

Todd Chapman, president and CEO of JMA Ventures, also joins the Tahoe Fund Board of Directors. Chapman has spent much of his life visiting Lake Tahoe and has deep ties to the region through JMA’s ownership of Homewood Mountain Resort and the West Shore Cafe. The company also recently completed construction of the new Soaring Ranch mixed use project anchored by a new Raley’s marketplace in Truckee, California. Mr. Chapman has also participated in other boards including The Bay Club Companies, Squaw Valley-Alpine Meadows, and Schools of the Sacred Heart in San Francisco, where he served as vice chair.  He earned his B.S. from Boston College, and Juris Doctorate from Santa Clara University.
