Responsibilities at FoNR: 

I have been involved with FoNR for years as a sponsor and am delighted to now be more deeply involved with this group.  Education is a powerful tool that can change the trajectory of a life and have broader impacts to the community.  To be a part of this organization is inspiring.

Why I am involved with FoNR: 

As a member of the FoNR Board, I feel lucky to participate in the Development Committee working on growth strategies to raise awareness of this amazing organization, the people and the difference it makes in real lives.  As a board member, I am also involved in shaping the strategic direction for FoNR.
