I joined the board of the Chicago Gifted Community Center about 10 minutes after it was formed in 2011. At that point my oldest had graduated from the Illinois Math and Science Academy and headed off to Harvey Mudd College and my youngest was taking a year away from public schools to learn exciting things before attending the local high school.
I have spent the last 5 years leading our organization. In this time I have learned a ton and I hope I have helped a few people understand their children just a little better. However, now the time has come for a change, and I am happy to announce that board member Carole Jones has assumed the presidency. I will remain on the board and will continue as the West Suburban Coordinator.
Please join me in welcoming Carole!
