An experienced management consultant, teacher, and community organizer, Ms. Owen was the ideal choice for Barham and fellow board members.

Her appointment to the CAWDBs board of directors is the latest of many community appointments she has accepted over the years.

It is exactly the principle that I have always adhered to, so I think the fit will be a good one.
