Last but certainly not least, the lady everyone wants on their team, we happily welcome Stephanie to our board of directors. Stephanie Manley is the owner of The Salty Ledger, where she specializes in bookkeeping, accounting, and advisory services for local nonprofits and small businesses. She is passionate about helping organizations stay financially strong so they can continue serving their communities well. A longtime resident of the Baytown area, Stephanie has lived in the community for nearly 30 years and is deeply rooted in serving others through both her professional and volunteer work. She actively volunteers with local nonprofits, including the Service League of Baytown, where she serves through Partners in Education alongside GCCISD school nurses to provide vision and hearing screenings for local students. Stephanie is passionate about strengthening the local community and believes investing in and serving the community around you is one of the most meaningful ways to make a lasting impact. Her heart for service and passion for helping others make serving on the board of Habitat for Humanity especially meaningful to her.
