Why are you on the Legacy Children’s Foundation team?
The older I get, the more I realize the importance of mentoring. Everyone needs guidance, inspiration and challenge from outside adults. Our families give us certain guidance but it is limited by their own experience/skills (eg, music, business, athletics, writing) . Another mentor adult can round out that guidance with their strengths to challenge students in new ways . That is what Legacy does.
What is the most challenging thing you have done?
Being a caregiver for him when he was disabled by MS while learning to operate our business alone.
Most Influential Mentor
My late husband, Tom. He taught me business attributes and skills, was a spiritual leader, and a gifted communicator
