"It is not only my pleasure, but my obligation to serve on the Board of Directors for Maternity Care Coalition.  When I was a little child my parents taught me, To Whom Much Is Given, Much Is Required.  I have lived my life by those biblical words.  I was blessed to have two wonderful role models in my parents, who encouraged me to go back, reach back and give back.  Now that I have my own child, I want to make it possible for as many children and mothers to have the same advantages and chances as I have and as my daughter has.  So I will work hard to ensure that children who come through Maternity Care Coalition are given hope and opportunity."
