Board Members

We would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated board members, who graciously volunteer their time, expertise, and unwavering commitment to CCEA. It is through their vision, thoughtful guidance, and hours of behind-the-scenes work that we are able to grow, adapt, and better serve our membership. Their generosity, leadership, and passion remind us that true impact is often driven by those who give of themselves not for recognition, but out of genuine care and belief in our shared mission. We are truly fortunate to have such an exceptional group of women who, through their voluntary service, help shape the path forward and ensure our continued success.
