All on Board Collation

I am a board member for the York County All On Board Coalition. All On Board is committed to saving lives by increasing community drug and alcohol awareness, educating students, providing support to parents, and partnering with local community agencies to prevent youth drug and alcohol use in York County.

 

 

 

Back2School Block Party

For several years, I have helped to organize the Back2School Block Party, where we have given away thousands of backpacks, filled with school supplies and connected families to nonprofit organizations and services.

Serving Our Community

In 2003, my husband, Doug and I received the Heroes with Heart award from the Heart to Heart Foundation. I also donate my time and use my photography skills to support other local nonprofit organizations throughout our community. I have served on boards for First Steps, Family Connections, Early Learning Partnership, and the Come-See-Me Festival. I even served as a volunteer soccer coach with the City of Rock Hill. I attend Grace Lutheran Church where I have served on various committees, including our church council.

Because of my volunteer work in public education and our community, in 2011 I was chosen by Parenting Magazine to represent the state of South Carolina in their Mom Congress. This gave me the opportunity to work with moms from across the US to advocate for public education.

Dedication Beyond the Boardroom

My dedication to being the best School Board Trustee that I can be, extends beyond the boardroom. I was recognized for reaching Level 5  of the South Carolina School Boards Association. The Boardmanship Institute offers a year-round training curriculum focused on leadership skills on state and national education issues. This award represents over 300 hours of time and training.
