Please help us welcome the following members to the Many Hands Board:

She is also an advisor and board member to a STEM focused non-profit run by two women who are students at MCPS high schools. Originally from Massachusetts, she and her family reside in Chevy Chase, Maryland.

Her core strengths include strategic planning, project management, and building relationships and consensus. Cindy currently serves on the board of the Heritage Humane Society Auxiliary in Williamsburg, Virginia, and is a member of the William & Mary Society of 1918 steering committee.
