Following Legg Mason’s acquisition by Smith Barney, she transitioned to Wells Fargo Advisors in 2009, where she continues to serve her clients.

Her Rotary journey has included two terms as President of the Rotary Club of York-East, multiple years as Club Rotary Foundation Chair, Annual Fund Chair for the District and service as Assistant Governor, and participation on district conference, foundation, and nominating committees. She is a Major Donor and member of the Paul Harris Society, and she remains deeply committed to advancing the mission of The Rotary Foundation.
One of the most rewarding Rotary initiatives she participated in was helping launch The County Cup, a collaborative fundraiser involving all nine York County Rotary clubs. Over four years, the event returned more than $223,000 to local nonprofits. She is also proud to have introduced the Safety Town program to the York-East Club, educating young children about safety and community awareness.
Today, Elizabeth continues to support Rotary at both the club and district levels, focusing on leadership development, sustainable fundraising, and consistent support of The Rotary Foundation’s Annual Fund. |
