BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Anne has been involved with Canal Winchester Human Services since 2012 when she began as a volunteer in the food pantry.   As her desire to help others through the services provided by CWHS grew, she joined the Board of Trustees where she has served in various positions and continues to volunteer.  

She is employed by the US Department of Defense where she has served in various financial management positions over the last 35 years.  Anne and her husband Tom have been residents of Canal Winchester since 1995.  They have two children who graduated from Canal Winchester High School.   

 Laurie is a 20-year resident of Canal Winchester.  She is passionate about the services provided by Canal Winchester Human Services and to all the residents who need them.  Her heartfelt desire for reaching out to people in tangible, hands-on ways was inspired by her late daughter, Shelby, who cared deeply for people and was always giving back. Shelby was a role model for all to follow.  Laurie volunteers at the pantry and is continuously humbled by the day-to-day needs that so many volunteers, like herself, willingly fill with helping hands. Laurie is married to her husband  Craig, and together they raised both of their daughters in Canal Winchester.  She is an IT Manager for a large insurance company in Columbus.  Her passion to serve extends professionally as well, as she gives back by serving as a co-captain for the company’s Hunger Relief campaign, raising thousands of dollars for the Mid-Ohio Food Bank. Personally and locally, she attends X Church and serves as the liaison between Human Services and her church.

My name is Kelly MacBrair, and I have been a resident of Canal Winchester for over 20 years. I am married to Brad MacBrair, and we have an 11-year-old daughter Ella that is in 6th Grade at CWMS. Up until June of last year I was a registered nurse at The Ohio State University Medical Center for 23 years. I have always had a passion for helping others and last Summer I had the opportunity to leave my job and work for my husband’s company Buckeye Window Treatments. My time opened for volunteering more, and I have volunteered over the years for BrockStrong, XChurch, and HerSong. After many years of desiring to volunteer at Canal Winchester Human Services it finally happened, and I am very honored and excited to serve as a trustee on the board for Canal Winchester Human Services. 

 Malinda is a 25 year resident of CW, where she and her husband, Larry, have raised 5 kids and have been blessed with 3 grandchildren.  Malinda is a licensed insurance agent at a local agency.  Aside from work, she enjoys snuggling her grandbabies and watching her daughters play soccer.  She attends XChurch and serves in the kids ministry.  Malinda previously held the position of CW Human Services pantry and senior transportation coordinator and it’s there where her passion for serving others truly blossomed.  Giving back and loving on others is what’s most important.

For over a decade, I've called Canal Winchester home, dedicating my free time to both local and broader community causes. I've volunteered with CWJRD, the Brockstrong Foundation, Way to Battle, and the Canal Winchester Area Historical Society. Additionally, I've served on the Stir Scholarship Board since 2022, empowering young women in Central Ohio pursuing Computer Science degrees. Previously, I contributed as an Advisory Board member for Honest Jobs, aiding formerly incarcerated individuals in securing careers and resources.

Currently, I serve as the President of the 19th Hole Club Booster Organization, supporting the growth of our MS/HS golf programs. My commitment to community extends to my family life; I'm a proud mother to Regan, an active Freshman at CWHS, and wife to Rick for nearly 12 years.  Our rescued Aussiedoodle, Bennie completes our family.

My passion for people, family, and community fuels me. Having experienced uncertainty in my own life, not knowing where my next meal would come from, I'm driven by a deep desire to give back and provide hope to those who need it most. I believe in the power of community and I am honored to have an opportunity to serve on the Human Services Board. By fostering genuine connections and ensuring the voices of all community members are heard and valued, I strive to make a lasting impact, rooted in compassion and empathy.
