Throughout my professional career as well as in my personal life, I have been intentional about serving in ways that help effect change and create positive outcomes for others.
I hope to grow myself and others through board service. I hope to broaden my network while working with others towards a common goal/mission. I want to be the best version of myself in my community, for my community.
I have had close to 40 years experience in running a small business. I have experienced periods of turmoil due to changes in the economy and periods of great growth following implementation of new plans. I think it would be rewarding to help other women through challenging times and mentor them through their growth.
I have a strong passion for the Akron community and want to help it grow and flourish. I want to serve to help strengthen my network in the community and be part of boards or committees that play a role in driving strategic decisions. My interests include direction setting on strategy, sustainability, organizational culture, and community engagement.
Serving on a women's leadership board would align well with my extensive background in education, workforce development, and community service. My involvement could help shape policies and programs that promote gender equality and professional development for women.
I want to meet more individuals in my community that share the same values and interests as me. I want to make a difference in the lives of others and give back in ways that I can.
I’d like to give my time back to the community and serve on a Board where I can provide skills and knowledge in the HR and Operations space. I’m open to many different industries and organizations!

I previously served for three years on a professional board (Ohio Prospect Research Network) and enjoyed my experience but would like to transition to a board experience for a nonprofit organization. During my time on the OPRN board, I served as co-chair of the membership committee and as a member of the events committee. As I have worked in the fundraising world for 10+ years, I can bring valuable insights to a fundraising or development committee.
I enjoy giving back to my community and believe in change at the local level. I think there is a need to have more scientists in politics and policy making. I am passionate about issues pertaining to women, children, and science.

I served on various internal boards/women’s committees throughout my career. I have always enjoyed volunteering to support growth and opportunities for others.

Additionally, I welcome the opportunity for personal growth and relationship development that serving on a board can offer.
As a new business owner, I am hoping to expand my own network while working with a group of individuals who have a shared vision. While I love the freedom entrepreneurship affords, it can sometimes be lonely! I thrive in an environment where I can build meaningful relationships and I want to be able to do that in a place where I can offer my expertise and time.
My previous years of Board experience have provided me with opportunities to learn and grow personally and professionally, while simultaneously strengthening some of the critical non-profit resources in our area. I look forward to continuing these efforts in the future.

I moved to Ohio a couple of years ago for my career. Akron was the community that I first moved to, and I absolutely fell in love with Ohio. I currently live in Summit Co, and I would love to be even more integrated into this community and connect with other professionals that I might not have met.
I want to utilize the talents I’ve been given to be of service to others and improve our Akron community. I am willing to serve in whatever ways an organization needs and love working through challenges. I look forward to joining a team and working together to bring positive change.
