Over the past two years, she has been an integral part of incorporating the Monarchs into the Manchester community and the state of New Hampshire, orchestrating special events (Ace Bailey Golf Tournament, Hockey 101: For Women Only, etc.) and overseeing all fundraising activities and the disbursement of funds to local community organizations.
