Lanham’s impressive background in business and marketing will undoubtedly equip her to contribute significantly to the organization.
“I am deeply honored for the opportunity to join the Board of Directors for Boca Helping Hands,” said Lanham. “BHH plays such a key role in providing crucial basic needs to its clients within the community. I am excited to contribute my expertise to further their mission and positively impact my community.”
Lanham completed her undergraduate studies at Stellenbosch University, where she was inspired to study commerce after cultivating a passion for business and fashion through her family’s clothing factories.
For the past 15 years, Lanham has run the Addison, a Five Star Diamond awarded private event venue, caterer, and historic landmark in Boca Raton, Florida. In addition to her role at the Addison, she manages the sales and marketing departments of various international portfolio companies and serves on various philanthropic boards, including the Boca Raton Historical Society.
Lanham’s other community involvement includes The American Cancer Society, Ambassador for ResearcHERS, volunteer interviewer for the George Snow Scholarship Fund, volunteer for children’s cancer charity Sofia’s Hope, and volunteer lecturer for Florida Atlantic University’s hospitality program.
Lanham and the Addison have been longtime supporters of Boca Helping Hands. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, they helped the organization by donating 5,700 hot meals for clients and have donated nearly 20,000 pounds of food since 2012.
“We are so pleased that Zoe is joining the board,” said Board President Gary Peters. “She is an outstanding community leader and we will benefit from her extensive experience.”
