She recently retired after 32 years in marketing for Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Alabama.

I am very excited to have this wonderful opportunity to work with the Oneonta Business Association. They are a very dedicated group of people who work very hard to promote our city. I am very enthusiastic about the many changes and growth of Oneonta and I am eager to serve as a liaison for our businesses and community.
