WEC clearly communicates its diversity, the specialty skills of its members, commitment to community projects, and primary focus on relationship building. I am privileged to be part of your group and look forward to the friendships I will develop.

I am the owner of ChemWare, Inc., located in Raleigh, NC, with business throughout the U.S. ChemWare develops, markets, and sells a laboratory information management system. Its customers include large laboratories specializing in water quality (government water districts and sanitation facilities), public health (state labs and Washington, DC), and environmental testing (contaminants in soil and water). In November, 2009, Triangle Business Journal recognized ChemWare as one of the “Fast 50”—the fastest growing private companies in the Research Triangle Park, NC area.

Both work-related duties and long-time friends initially enticed me to Fort Lauderdale. My husband Bill is central in my life. He travels widely for his Masonic activities. We enjoy tennis, pinochle, and gourmet cooking, along with the many cultural events of the city. We are blessed with four children and seven grandchildren that also keep us busy.
