2015 – 2016 LMLA Board of Director Nominees During my 25 years with Lockheed Martin I have participated in many events and since 2011 I have been a member of LMLA. I have been a volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House for the past eight years and continue to serve my community in many ways such as Project Linus where we make blankets for children. All these causes are very dear to my heart and bring me much joy. Recently, I participated in the Diversity & Inclusion Council International Day of which I took first place. The country that I represented was Germany. This is the country of my heritage. I also speak German fluently as my mother grew up in Germany. I have been part of the Edelweiss Singers for the past five years where we go to different Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Centers and sing and I play Christmas Carols on my accordion. In the past I was a Camp Fire Leader and Program Chairman for 5 years. It was a wonderful experience.
