On a Personal Note:
I have been serving as the NCSPOD Mid Western Region V.P. since June, 2009. I have been a member of NCSPOD for about 4 years. Previous to being on the board I presented at the 2008 Conference, both a workshop session and a GIFTS session. NCSPOD is such a great organization and my experience on the board, thus far, has been a fantastic experience. I highly recommend NCSPOD to others interested in leadership and organizational development.
On the personal side, I have lived in Cedar Rapids, IA for many years. I find joy in each new day. I'm passionate about discovering the good in others, living to help others and lifelong learning. My family and I have opened our home to several international students over the past couple of years and have found a new joy in international education. We enjoy sharing our home and our hearts with others.
My favorite quote is by Helen Keller, "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart."
Wishing you joy!
