Nancy English - Board Officer

NancyEnglish_edited.jpg

Take one elementary school librarian at a school with a Canine Companion who’s library office is the second home for the dog when she is not in the classroom. Add being a Chi Omega Alum and Advisor for a Wyoming Chapter who got to plan Make-A-Wish events for 9 years. Sprinkle implementing a pet therapy program at the local hospital on which she serves on the Foundation Board as a director for the past 15 years. Put in a big pinch of event planning. Stir in lots of teaching, grant writing, and program presenting on all levels, from local to national.

Top off with a love for boxer dogs. At least 5, currently #’s 4 & 5 and you have the perfect recipe for someone willing to serve on the Barker Dog Foundation.

You get me. I’m Nancy English. Retired and living in the good life in Laramie with my husband, Brad Waldbauer and 2 boxers
