Why Did You Decide to Join the Acts Board?
My introduction to CCRCs was as the granddaughter of grandparents and the daughter of parents who chose life care plans in an Acts community, formerly a PUMH community. I experienced, first hand, the Loving-Kindness and social interaction offered in a Christian environment and high-quality continuum of services provided to residents. I am honored to share my gifts of clinical and management experience to be of service to the Acts organization, residents and employees.

Why Did You Decide to Join the Acts Board?
On one of my initial visits to the Acts corporate headquarters, I noticed the inscription from Micah
6:8 over the entrance “What is required of thee? To be fair and just and merciful and to walk humbly with your God.” I learned more about Acts when I met with former Acts CEOs George Gunn and
Marvin Mashner, about the mission and vision of Acts and its commitment to caring for residents and employees. I was inspired to become a part of the Acts culture of fairness and Loving-Kindness and it became my opportunity to give back to the overall community by interacting with residents and using
the talents God gave me for the betterment of the Acts organization. Over the years, it has been a great honor to serve on the Acts Board to further this important mission on behalf of residents and employees.
