TVCEF Announces New Director

We are happy to introduce TVCEF's new Director, Lynn Weller. Lynn is excited to work with the Twin Valley community and schools. She believes it is her career mission to benefit the greater good and bring communities together.

Terry McEwen, Board President, and Lynn Weller, Director
 
Lynn got her start working with non-profit organizations in college where she volunteered with Project SHINE: Students Helping In the Naturalization of Elders. With Project SHINE she taught elderly immigrants English and naturalization skills and eventually worked with the organization to bring services to Arab immigrants in Philadelphia. After college she worked as a Field Manager with the group, Clean Water Action, to gain community support for protecting our environment. Shortly thereafter she became the Empowerment Center Director for the YWCA of Bethlehem. At that position she ran programs in the Bethlehem community to eliminate racism and empower women and girls. She also worked on numerous fundraising events, such as a 5K race and golf tournament. Just before coming to TVCEF, Lynn was working at the National Defense University’s Capstone Program where she helped implement a federally mandated program for newly appointed generals and flag officers to expand joint professional military education.
Lynn graduated from Temple University in Philadelphia with a BA in Political Science. She also pursued a minor in Religion and spent three years studying the Arabic Language. She spent her junior year abroad in Amman, Jordan and participated in a summer program in Sana’a, Yemen. She enjoys gardening, canning, wine making, sewing, and all things crafty. Lynn and her husband, Michael, just became new parents to a beautiful daughter, Maybelle. Lynn currently lives with her family and coonhound, Willi, in Hamburg.
