New leadership appointments reinforce nonprofit’s commitment to protecting South Florida’s most vulnerable children and families
 
(Lake Worth, Fla.) – HomeSafe announced today the appointment of Ken Rosenberg to its Board of Directors and the return of Ward Kellogg, who previously served on the board for two decades from 2000 through 2020. Together, their leadership further strengthens the organization’s commitment to protecting victims of child abuse and domestic violence across South Florida.
 
“We are incredibly proud to welcome Ward back to the HomeSafe board and to have Ken join our leadership at such an important time for our organization,” said Matthew Ladika, CEO of HomeSafe. “Ward’s decades of dedication to our mission, and Ken’s passion for supporting children and families, strengthen our efforts to build a stronger future for those we serve across South Florida.”
 
Kellogg is the founding chairman and chief executive officer of Paradise Bank and brings more than four decades of banking leadership to the board. During his previous tenure with HomeSafe, he served as Board President from 2004 to 2006, and helped introduce the organization’s signature fundraising event, The Classic Rock & Roll Party, which will mark its 24th year in 2027. In 2019, Paradise Bank received the HomeSafe Hero Award at The Classic in recognition of its longstanding support.
 
“HomeSafe has been close to my heart for many years, and I’m incredibly proud to return to the board and continue supporting the organization’s important work,” said Kellogg. “The impact HomeSafe has on children and families in our community is truly remarkable, and I look forward to helping advance its continued growth and mission.”
 
Rosenberg, a retired textile executive, previously served as vice president of the Textile Distribution Association, and has held board leadership roles at The Falls Club. He and his wife Maggie are longtime supporters of HomeSafe and the Boca Raton community. The couple made a $500,000 gift to HomeSafe’s Healing the Hurt Campaign, and the Community Room at the organization’s Boca Raton campus is named in their honor. They were recognized with the 2025 HomeSafe Hero Award.
 
“I believe we can make a difference, and there is nothing more rewarding than giving children in unfortunate situations, through no fault of their own, a chance at positive and meaningful life experiences,” Rosenberg said. “I look forward to working alongside the HomeSafe board and team to help create lasting impact for children and families in our community.”
 
HomeSafe is a nationally accredited nonprofit protecting Palm Beach County’s and South Florida’s most vulnerable residents – victims of child abuse and domestic violence. Through its results-driven approach, the organization is a leading provider of prevention and intervention services, serving more than 15,000 infants, children, young adults and families each year. HomeSafe is one of just five specialized residential therapy homes in the state of Florida—the only one in Southeast Florida.
