SOK Welcomes New Board Members

Jan 1, 2026

Serving Our Kids Foundation is pleased to announce the addition of new members to our Board of Directors. These leaders bring a wealth of experience in nonprofit service, business, education, and community engagement—expertise that will help guide our continued growth and strengthen our impact for food-insecure elementary school children across the Las Vegas Valley.

Our new board members share a deep commitment to our mission: ensuring that kids can dream of the future instead of dreaming about food. As they lend their time, talent, and insight to Serving Our Kids Foundation, we look forward to expanding our reach, enhancing our programs, and building even stronger partnerships throughout Southern Nevada. Together, we remain dedicated to creating a future without hunger—and a future without limits—for the children we serve.

Meet Michele Hsu

Michelle Hsu is honored to serve on the Board of Directors for the Serving Our Kids Foundation. She brings nearly 14 years of experience with Caesars Entertainment and currently serves as the Regional Vice President of Marketing Strategy for Las Vegas. Throughout her career, Michelle has held leadership roles in operations, regional and enterprise corporate functions, VIP and casino marketing. She has led teams across multiple markets within the Caesars portfolio, excelling in change management, guest experience innovation, and the development of cohesive marketing strategies that deliver results—especially at Caesars Rewards resorts in Las Vegas.

Michelle’s connection to Serving Our Kids began over five years ago when she was searching for a volunteer opportunity that welcomed young children. The organization was the only one in Las Vegas that allowed kids under 13 to participate—giving her son and his former baseball team a way to give back. It quickly became a meaningful part of her family’s life.

Outside of work and service, Michelle is a proud parent to Richie, a nationally ranked junior golfer, and shares her life with her partner Rich and their two doodles. As a family, they love to travel—favorites include Japan, Sea Island, GA, and Hawaii.
