serves on the alumni association board’s Alumni Development
Committee and on the Cameron School of Business Alumni Chapter’s
Executive Committee as secretary. For fun, she enjoys crafts, decorating,
reading and boating. With her husband, Marc, she really puts those

with their “catch.” The association welcomes Trudy to
its board of directors and looks forward to her dynamic leadership.
