I’ve been an active Member of CREW Network since 1997, and have served as a National Delegate, and on eight different national committees and task forces. One of the committees that I most enjoy is the Scholarship Selection Committee, which I chaired in 2013. This year will be my seventh year serving as one of my chapter’s representatives to select the incredibly talented female undergrad and graduate students who will be CREW Network Scholars.

I am a past Trustee of CREW Network Foundation and a past co-chair of the CREW Careers Committee and the Career Outreach Committee. In 2015, I was honored to be named as the 50th CREW Network Foundation Visionary.

CREW Charlotte is one of the largest chapters in CREW Network. I am honored to be a past President and continue to be very active in the life of our local chapter. I was one of the founders of CREW Charlotte’s Authentic Leadership Program, and currently serve on the Strategic Planning Committee and the CREW Network Committee.

I recently retired from the Board of Directors, after serving for four years, and continue to serve as the Olde English Regional Representative.
