BOARD MEMBERS

My most significant accomplishments are grounded in the experiential discovery and recognition that if you seriously believe something is important and you stand up to be counted, others who respect your endeavor, will stand up with you and contribute their support in strengthening and expanding significant goals.

This realization enabled me to confidently organize and unite broad based community action groups, composed of official representatives from major religious, business, civic, educational, professional and other groups, to actively support a common goal, as well as to focus professional interest and contributions toward improving educational standards within a school system. Ultimately, this led to challenging the methods of traditional bodies; leading to the acquisition of the “holy” Ph.D or Ed.D, programs. Confidently, along with my husband, and the many others who contributed to this endeavor, we ultimately re-designed and implemented a personally meaningful and individualized way of achieving and demonstrating the required knowledge to earn a Doctorate, and now other degrees, while remaining employed and off-campus. The unequivocal demonstration of acceptable quality in meeting required standards enabled Walden University to become accredited, and other similar institutions to follow suit, thus enabling a broader spectrum of society to earn more meaningful degrees.
