assisted industry and the communities

relationships and increase sustainability.
The passion for and importance of education instilled in her during her childhood encourages her to extend those same
types of opportunities to West Virginia’s
youth. Over the course of her life, Green
has strived to make where she lives and
works better by advocating for families
and children, bringing people together
and improving life in their communities.
She has helped develop hands-on science
programs for local schools and guide industry-community partnerships to provide
grants to enhance STEM education. This
work led her to serve on the Charleston
Area Alliance’s Vision 2030 committee
for industry and education.
Green has chaired several successful
fundraisers for her daughter’s school, with
one topping $100,000. She has served
as an honor host for the YMCA’s Spirit
of the Valley campaign and continues to
serve on the organization’s membership
and marketing committee. She has provided support to educate numerous communities, schools, churches and daycare
centers on emergency preparedness and
how to properly shelter in place. Her volunteer efforts have also benefited Union
Mission, the YWCA’s Shanklin Center
and Manna Meal.
She recognizes the importance of reading in the education of West Virginia’s
youth, and she is an active Read Aloud
volunteer. She sits on the outreach committee at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church,
where she helped develop a summer reading program for Oakwood Terrace Apartments and a backpack food program for
the local elementary school. An advocate
for the arts, she has volunteered with the
West Virginia Youth Symphony and Coda
Mountain Academy and worked with the
former Seneca Chamber Orchestra’s children’s program to expose local youth to
classical music. She has been a member
of the West Virginia Symphony League,
volunteered at Symphony Sunday and
ushered for the symphony’s school concerts at the Clay Center. She blended her
love of tennis and giving back as a volunteer at the YMCA during Tennis Across
America, a national program designed to
increase youth participation in the sport.
This year, she and her family are spearheading the new Read to Me, Please project. Founded in 2016, the program seeks
to share the love of reading with children
who have been displaced due to domestic issues. “I came from an area where
few had a chance to be successful, and I
have been blessed,” she says. “My parents worked hard to give us a foundation
from which to launch. I am grateful for
that and want to bring that to others.”
Although Green once dreamed of being
a “Solid Gold” dancer or a congressional
aide, today she considers her greatest accomplishment being named partner and
successor of Ann Green, the president of
Ann Green Communications. “I am honored to be involved in taking our company
into the future,” she says. “We just celebrated 25 years. We have a great opportunity in front of us, and I look forward
to our golden anniversary.”
