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.

 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.
