Goals and Accomplishments

Gail has now completed serving a term as Chair of the Board of Trustees from 2006-2008. “She has served the Board as its exceptional Chair, leading it with poise and grace,” notes Jerry Mapp, Foundation President Emeritus. “Gail leaves a tremendous legacy and a hard act to follow,” says incoming Board Chair Dick Watts. “She’s hit some tremendous fundraising goals. I see my job as keeping that ship on track.”

“Trustees are truly privileged to be part of the family at CPMC and should stand proud for what they do as Ambassadors of the Medical Center,” explains Gail. “She guided us through three very successful years of fundraising,” Mapp recalls. The Board of Trustees celebrates Gail’s service and her invaluable, steadfast commitment to the Foundation.
