Mary Beth has been an active, visible member of ELGL who is quick to engage our speakers through questions such as what are the obstacles preventing wifi in the Rose Garden. ELGL also recognizes Mary Beth for putting others before herself. She is always recognizing the accomplishments of others while brushing off her many achievements.
