 I presently serve on the CCHS Board of Directors, and am interesting in running for a second,
three-year term.

I started volunteering for CCHS in 1995 as a foster care provider, and added other duties over
time, e.g., medical lab volunteer, cat kennel cleaner, and “czarina” of the holiday section of the
annual garage sale. I served on the board previously for the period 2003-2011, and was
president 2005-2008. I was again elected to the board 2015-2018, but elected not to run for a
second term in 2018. Though I was not on the board, I continued to serve on the Animal
Welfare Committee and the Facilities Committee, and was actively involved with the planning
and construction of the new shelter facilities.

My interests lie in the area of animal welfare; specifically providing a stress-free, enriched
environment for the animals in our care. I try to stay current on standards of care and housing,
as well as current trends in the industry. I am also interested in helping to develop future
initiatives that will enable CCHS to provide additional services to the community such as lowcost
veterinary care, enhanced educational and training programs, and partnerships with other
community rescue groups. I am also interested in acting as an ambassador for CCHS at
fundraising events, and generally furthering the organization’s status in the community.

I am retired from the University of Illinois where for 20 years I provided administrative support
to the head of the Department of Animal Sciences. Prior to that I worked for 20 years in the
surety bond industry in Chicago as an underwriter and field representative, and in the latter
years, was a Vice President and Bond Manager for an international insurance brokerage firm.
