Active in a wide variety of Volunteer Leadership positions at the State, National and International levels of Lions Clubs International (LCI). Activities included Leadership Development, Programmatic Development, major Fundraising Campaigns, and facilitating Grants for Humanitarian Service projects. These volunteer positions utilize the skills and experiences I've gained working at IBM for over 38 years, and I enjoy the opportunities I have to "give back" to my community, both locally and worldwide.
