Meet the Board of Directors of Moon Shadow
We are a diverse group of women from across the nation

Vicki is a healthcare executive with

over 25 years of experience focused

on healthcare programs and policies

that support patients.

​

She enjoys volunteering and spending

her free time with animal rescue organizations in and around Los Angeles.

 

She has fostered over 100 dogs

in the last ten years and is committed to ensuring all animals are cared for and

their habitats protected.

​

Why?

"It's simple.  We share this world with them."

For 45 years, Sandy has devoted

her life to public education,

much of it in low-income, urban schools

where she championed students

who often had the odds stacked against them.

 

Many of those students have since earned places at some of our country's most selective colleges and have been able to enrich

their communities in remarkable ways.

​

She took children out of the city so they could experience the world firsthand:

discovering life cycles by tending plants

and collecting river water

teeming with nymphs,

witnessing the quiet magic of Winter

by documenting a single tree's changes

and the tapping of Maple trees.

​

Why?

Because Sandy learned early on that

wonder is one of the most powerful teachers.

​

"Moon Shadow will bring these same joyful, transformative experiences to

people of all ages.

I'm thrilled to contribute to

this inspiring vision."

Hawthorne describes herself as

a woodland creature who often ventures

to the ocean side.

​

She is an artist author who

listens to the stories of the forest fairies

and relays them into books and poppets

with a deep level of care

and admiration for wildlife

(often with a bit of whimsy too)

​

Why Moon Shadow?
"I have deep care and respect for the choices

being made and the legacy being built.

There's an important mission here:

to protect the land and the wildlife.

To do something good."
