The Motherlode Spring 2024: Women at the Helm

We recently received a grant for a mobile food pantry and have already taken it out a few times. We’re thrilled to see an incredible response from our community. Our team is currently working on outfitting the interior with lighting and refrigeration to improve the overall experience. We look forward to reaching food deserts and helping as many people as possible. “ - Susan Coakley President, Caring Cupboard, LLC

pop-ups because the holiday shop will be #50. Hitting so many milestones as a small, women-owned business is very exciting! Each pop-up brings in brand new artists and there are so many talented makers that I love introducing to Annapolis & beyond!

I’m planning next year’s robotics and control engineering course offerings and our department is working to get our 16-foot deep research pool for maritime robotics research and curriculum up and running. I get excited about working with and supporting a fantastic group of educators every day as we strive to help accomplish the mission of the US Naval Academy.

I’m excited about working with Leadership Anne Arundel. I am on the board and in the membership committee. So my goal is to get more leaders involved, especially the ones that don’t have the opportunity or don’t take the steps sometimes to know and develop the leader role in them.
