Laura has been a member of St. Bede's for 28 years. She has worked in public health policy for longer than she will admit and currently focuses on partnership development and working with Congress at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At St. Bede's, Laura has served as an usher, on the Adult Christian Formation and Popcorn Theology Committees, the Spirit Led Innovation Team, and chairs Share the Care. Laura is the mother of two grown daughters, and her introduction to St. Bede’s was through their enrollment in St. Bede’s Day School. Laura is excited about being drafted for the Vestry because, as Chad reminded her, she has publicly stated she would like to see Share the Care on steroids. On a more serious note, St. Bede’s has been with Laura through the joys and tragedies of life and she is delighted to have an opportunity for service and to give back.
