Nomination for Treasurer: Kathy Servian
I am currently a Clinical Therapist for West Virginia University Hospitals and have worked in the social service field since 1998.

In addition to the Junior League, I have volunteered my time with the Special Olympics as a Cheerleading Coach. I have been employed in several capacities both in the social service field and in retail that have allowed me the experience to collect, exchange, manage, and budget monies. I am familiar with tracking expenditures and keeping financial records based on these employment experiences. This is my second year volunteering with the Junior League and currently serve on the Board as a member of the Nominating Committee.
