Wells County Foundation board of directors
In 2021, I joined the local community foundation as a board member to help promote quality of life in Wells County and foster philanthropy efforts and projects. I currently serve as the board secretary.
United Way of Wells County
In the spring of 2022, I was asked to serve on the board for the United Way of Wells County. Its focus is early childhood education. I helped lead the organization through a leadership change and as the board chair I continue to help oversee the agency’s evolution as an important community partner both locally and at the regional level.
Imagine Early —Adams-Wells Early Childhood Coalition
In 2022, the Adams-Wells Early Childhood Coalition began the process to become a nonprofit and I was appointed a founding board member to Imagine Early, now a 501(c)3 organization that serves Adams and Wells counties to connect parents and providers with resources for quality early childhood education. Advocacy work includes at the regional level and with local policymakers.
Facilitator, alumni committee for the Wells County Leadership Academy
I participated in the Wells County Leadership Academy Level 1 in 2015-2016 and Level 2 in 2016-2017. Then in 2017-2018, a small group including myself completed an independent study course of Level 3. I love the program so much that I continue to be involved as a facilitator and on the alumni committee, which I’ve chaired. The committee helps plan three annual events for WCLA alumni. I’ve also served on the WCLA advisory board as president.
