Who We Are

Kyle Richter brings a decade of experience in the conservation field to the Foundation. Prior to joining the Foundation team in 2021, Kyle served as the Watershed Programs Manager at the Musconetcong Watershed Association for 7 years. Kyle led the Association’s education and outreach programs and managed restoration projects throughout the watershed. Originally from Naples, Florida, Kyle came to New Jersey for college and has called it home ever since. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Marine Science from Rutgers University and a professional certificate in Watershed Management from Michigan State University. Kyle is also a 2017 Senior Fellow of the Environmental Leadership Program. When not at the lake, Kyle enjoys traveling, hiking, kayaking, snowboarding, and spending time with his family, especially his dog, Phoebe!

Donna Macalle-Holly brings more than a decade of experience advocating for the protection and restoration of Lake Hopatcong to her role at the Lake Hopatcong Foundation. Before joining the Foundation in 2013, Donna held the position of administrator at the Lake Hopatcong Commission, a quasi-independent state environmental commission. A 2012 recipient of the US EPA Environmental Quality Award, Donna served as a member of NJ DEP Citizens Advisory Committee for the Lake Hopatcong Water Level Management Plan. Donna is motivated by the Foundation’s vision for the lake and its surrounding communities. She appreciates having the opportunity to work with dedicated employees, board members, and volunteers to improve Lake Hopatcong for all who use it. Donna had never heard of Lake Hopatcong until 1983 (the year Bertrand Island Amusement Park closed), when she came boating with her friend’s family and met her future husband, Bruce. It’s hard to believe Donna and Bruce have enjoyed living on Lake Hopatcong for more than 25 years (especially since Donna says she is only 29). They love sharing sunsets together near Halsey Island.

Holly Odgers is a lifelong Sussex County resident who brings more than 25 years of experience in environmental advocacy and non-profit management to the Lake Hopatcong Foundation. Prior to joining the Foundation team in 2016, Holly served as Communications Director and Vice President of Operations for The Land Conservancy of New Jersey for 18 years. After interim positions at the Musconetcong Watershed Association and Grow It Green Morristown, she has settled in at Lake Hopatcong Foundation assisting in preserving and protecting New Jersey’s largest lake and surrounding community. Holly received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film, Photography, and Visual Arts from Ithaca College. In her spare time, Holly enjoys hiking and photography and is gradually getting more comfortable behind the handlebars of a bike.

Caitlin Doran is our “home grown” development director who hails from Roxbury Township and the Borough of Mount Arlington. Now in nearby Randolph, she continues to spend much of her time at the lake and feels a special connection to the lake community. For nearly six years, prior to joining the Lake Hopatcong Foundation team in 2020, Caitlin was the Outreach Coordinator for Hackensack Riverkeeper, a clean-water advocacy organization working to protect, preserve, and restore the Hackensack River Watershed. She is a graduate of William Paterson University, a 2017 recipient of the New Jersey Clean Communities Clean Waterways Award, and a former EarthShare New Jersey board member. When she’s not raising funds for the Foundation, you can find Caitlin volunteering with other local groups, hiking the trails, paddling her kayak, making frequent trips to NYC, enjoying time with family and friends, and drafting better bios.
