She is on Board of Directors for the local Business Education Council,
an active member of the local Family Violence Task Force of Wyoming County,
and a United Way Cabinet member for the past four years. She also serves
on the Healthy Community Alliance Board of Directors for the Route 39
corridor. We wish Barb success and enjoyment in a well-earned retirement!
