Board Bios

Laura Addison, President
Laura grew up in Chicago and moved to Georgia 12 years ago. Together with her wife Sherry, and 3 beautiful furbabies (Charlie, Rizzo, and Zoey) she has lived in Huntley Hills for just over 7 years. She often refers to Huntley Hills as the “hidden gem” inside the perimeter. Laura enjoys being involved in the neighborhood and community and is excited to see the growth and development happening all around us.

Laura enjoyed an active 20-year career in corporate america, spending the last 13 years of it as a regional sales manager and trainer, which involved weekly travel. While she enjoyed seeing most every corner of the country, 4 years ago she had the opportunity to turn in her TSA Pre-check pass for a career in Real Estate. “Now I get to stay home – and help others buy and sell theirs! I absolutely love it!” When she’s not showing and selling houses, Laura and Sherry enjoy traveling, hitting local breweries and festivals with friends, or floating in the pool catching some rays.

Marci Hooper-Smith, Treasurer
Marci, originally from Ohio and Michigan, has lived in Huntley Hills for 45 years. While raising two sons she served for 14 years on the Swim & Tennis Club Board in various offices and committees including President, Swim Team “Mom”, Neighborhood Watch Coordinator and Newsletter Editor. In 1996 she was on the Founding Board of the Huntley Hills Neighborhood Association and served as its first President. For the next 12 years she served in multiple positions and continued to produce the neighborhood newsletter.

In 1999, Marci, now an “empty nester”, was hired by the City of Chamblee and was employed there for 21 years until her retirement in 2020. She, and her husband Bill, have 5 kids plus spouses, 10 grandchildren and two cats. The children consider her the “critter whisperer” as her love of animals (and lots of critter food) attracts birds, squirrels, possums, raccoons, hawks, deer and the occasional stray cat to her back yard. She loves working in her yard, NASCAR, classic car shows and reading lighthearted murder mysteries. Marci re-joined the HHNA Board last year to fill the vacant Treasurer position and is looking forward to continuing that role after this election.

Huntley Hills has provided Yvonne and all of us with a true sense of community, supportive and caring neighbors that offer a helping hand, a needed hug or a kind word. Yvonne enjoys serving on the board as head of community relations as it allows her to meet so many wonderful people that she otherwise may not have a chance to as well as create and participate in events that harvest that sense of community and welcome new neighbors with open arms. She is grateful to be allowed to be part of this amazing group as well as this amazing community.
