Margaret is recognized for building relationships and has established extensive networks in schools and communities. She takes pride in supporting faculty and administrators in achieving their goals, with a particular focus on encouraging women in leadership roles.
Margaret and her husband, Bill, reside in Norfolk, Virginia. Their three children graduated from independent schools in Virginia and attended Lynchburg University and Washington & Lee. They often visit Richmond and Baltimore to spend time with their children, grandchildren, and grand-dogs, including their own Aussie, Shep. Margaret enjoys sitting on the beach with a good book or hiking locally, in the Southwest, and abroad. However, her true happy place is anywhere with family and friends, cherishing the relationships she has built throughout life.
