Joan Bates has lived in Falmouth with her husband, Robert, since 2002. Prior to that, the couple lived in Newton. Joan’s 25-year professional career was in special education and nonprofit management.
The Falmouth Housing Trust is a natural interest for her, especially since becoming a real estate agent in 2004. As the relatively high cost of living on Cape Cod makes it difficult to attract and retain workers on Cape Cod, and also makes it extremely difficult for many native Cape residents to afford a place to live, Joan believes the community must work to address this issue.
As a nonprofit manager off Cape, fundraising was always a part of her responsibility. Joan Bates previously served as co-chair of the campaign for the Falmouth Public Library, which successfully supported the renovation and expansion of the Main Branch of the Falmouth Public Library.
“I’m pleased to contribute my past experience in fundraising to create more work-force housing for Falmouth residents, and happy to support the Falmouth Housing Trust and join their Board of Directors.”
