About our team
Our team was formed by a local networking group of St. Croix River Valley residents who wanted to address this growing need in our communities. From this shared vision, River Valley Charities, a 501(c)3 charitable organization, was born. Our group meets monthly to discuss local needs and fundraising plans.
Current Leadership
Peter J. Greene - President
With 25 years of experience as a commercial HVAC Sales and Service Manager, Pete has recently joined the national firm of Vanguard Building Solutions, LLC, an Energy and Infrastructure Solutions organization based in Cherry Hill, NJ. As one of the original founders of River Valley Charities, Pete has enjoyed supporting the efforts of this group by increasing awareness of food insecurity throughout the St Croix Valley, and plans to build on the solid foundation that has been created over the last 7 years.
Doug G. Rohde - VP
Mr. Rohde founded LHR Hospitality in 2001 which develops and manages all aspects of limited- and full-service hotels, including nationally-franchised, independent and boutique properties. Doug uses his hospitality operations experience and connections to give back to the community, and is an integral part of the success of River Valley Charities.

He also serves on several boards throughout the hospitality industry and is very involved in tourism legislation throughout Wisconsin and Minnesota.
