I am honored to have been unanimously approved to serve on The Woman's Board of Westminster College.

Westminster College holds a very special place in my life as a graduate and now my youngest daughter, Katie will be attending in the Fall of 2022. The history of the Board and the many student lives they have touched is amazing. Sandra Morgan, Former First Lady of Westminster College and Woman's Board Member compiled the following historical description of how the Board came to exist. "Colonel William M. Ferry organized a woman's board for Sheldon Jackson College in Salt Lake City (name changed to Westminster College in 1902). His wife, Jeannette, convinced him to donate land to the college and establish a board of women to oversee a building that was dedicated to educating women. In a letter dated February 17, 1902, William Ferry donated 26 acres of land on 1300 East to Westminster College, stipulating that "a portion of ground, not to exceed five acres, be set aside as a site for a woman's college building, to be erected by women..." He then appointed a woman's board of 11 women, listing his wife as president, to manage this building. The first Woman's Board meeting was held on March 21, 1903. Minutes from the meeting - and every meeting thereafter - were kept in a leather-bound book that resides in the archives of Westminster's Giovale Library. The board's main focus was to raise money to build the woman's building. The board voted on October 9, 1914, to enlarge its membership when it deemed necessary. On October 11, 1916, the first constitution of the Woman's Board was adopted. The Woman's Board expanded their efforts in subsequent years and took on the project of a Domestic Science Department in 1915. They hosted the first Silver Tea in May of 1916 to help raise funds for the college." I will be attending the 106th Annual Silver Tea with my Mother, Sister, Daughters and a dear friend.
