Down and back to Richmond today for the 1/4ly @UMFS Board Mtg. It's always interesting to see how much the campus has changed and how much it remains the same as when I arrived at 10 yrs. old. I'm glad to be a part of the work they're doing to help families across Virginia.

umfs.org/board-member-bios/ Having lived at @UMFS from age 10-16, I'm honored to have been asked to join the UMFS Board. Today, I attended my first Board meeting in South Hill, VA and met the amazing staff that are helping to place children with foster parents across SW Virginia.
