Besides her husband and children, she considers her single greatest achievement co-founding the Carriage House—a psychosocial rehabilitation facility established to restore seriously mentally ill persons to maximum social and employment functioning. First Fridays will start back in September 2018 with a new line up of speakers to educate, empower, and encourage area leaders to grow. We look forward to continuing to add value to our leadership community.
