Director of Development for Westchester Library System in the Hudson Valley region of New York, raising awareness and dollars to advance equity in Westchester County. My work is built on a foundation of collaboration and partnerships with local government, community-based organizations and our 38 independent member libraries. Since the pandemic – WLS raised over $600k to support digital equity initiatives in Westchester and we are a lead partner organization in creating a Westchester County Digital Inclusion Coalition. Much of that work is inspired by what I learned at Net Inclusion 2022; my first ever digital inclusion conference! I met so many smart, dedicated professionals. I am thrilled to be here again in 2023 and look forward to more inspiration.
To shake off the cobwebs and keep my balance in this crazy world of ours, I am a devoted yoga practitioner (over 30 years!) a Breath, Body, Mind participant (TRY IT!), nature lover, culture consumer, and devoted grandmother.
