Why I Serve on the Spelman College Board of Trustees

My passion for and commitment to the advancement of leadership for young girls and women drew me to the mission of Spelman. While I am not an alumna, I know that I and many other women of color benefited from the role models of leadership and power expressed by generations of Spelman women. I feel honored to play a part in shaping the future of this great institution.
