Why did you join the board?

I am very excited about joining the board so that I
can now give back to the community in a different way.
The Scott County Community Foundation will be a new
challenge for me and a new way for me to devote my
time and talents. I know that I will learn a great
deal also from this new experience and look forward to
working with the other board members and Community
Foundation staff.
