Janet has three grown children and two grandsons. Ten years ago, Janet moved from Michigan to Eastern Kentucky. There are no chapters within 100 miles so she has been helping where ever needed. Currently, Janet is an Executive Secretary in the Marketing Division of a "large" community bank in Pikeville, Kentucky. Janet's goal this year is to work toward a common goal of the entire IBOD.
Goals for 2012-2013 include increasing membership, starting new chapters where none exist and working with Offinger on the new website.

We have a great working board and hope to accomplish many tasks this year.
