The volunteer board, voted into office in December, has already begun working on plans for this year.

“I am honored to be a part of this group of amazing women,” Sanders said. “They are passionate about helping the Flagler County community, and their impact in our area invaluable.”

“This amazing group of women have continued to thrive in Flagler County largely due to the extraordinary volunteer leaders that give so much of their time and talent to creating lasting change in our community,” said Alicia Casas, United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties vice president of Resource Development.
