Willis and I moved to Main Street, Emmitsburg in July 1991.
Emmitsburg seemed the perfect place to escape all the
congestion and tension that was present in Manassas, Virginia.
We have loved living here on the end of West Main Street. Our
children, Mandy and Buddy, attended Emmitsburg Elementary
School, Thurmont Middle and have both graduated from Catoctin
High School.
Since we've moved here, I have been involved with numerous
town and civic organizations. I am currently chair of the
Parks & Recreation Committee, I represent the
Presbyterian Church
on the Emmitsburg
Council of Churches, and I am the Publicity Chair for
the Emmitsburg
Lions Club. I also work with the US Route 15 Scenic
Byway Citizens Advisory Group. In the past, I have served as:
-
Member and Chair of the
Planning and Zoning Commission
-
Member of the Board of
Appeals
-
Newsletter Chair for the
Parent-Teacher Association for both the elementary and high
schools
-
Vice-President of the Emmitsburg Business
and Professional Association
-
Chair of the Economic
Renewal Committee
-
Active citizen: Since
1991, I have attended / participated in numerous town
meetings!
During most of the time
we have lived here, I have run Getting It Write, a small
(micro) business from my home office. We analyze training
needs, suggest both training and non-training solutions to
clients, and develop and evaluate training courses. I teach
several courses at the National Emergency Training Center. We
also ghostwrite books on marketing and management, write White
Papers for one of the Big Eight accounting firms, and have
written more than 150 magazine and newspaper articles.
I have a degree in Psychology from George Mason University (GMU)
and am now pursuing a Masters in Training and Performance
Improvement. I also have graduate credits from GMU in Conflict
Resolution and from Mount Saint Mary's in Business
Administration.
