Connie Churchward
My husband and I have been married for 34 years. We are proud parents of our daughter and son, both currently serving in the Navy. My education is in Arts & Science & Humanities and Interior Design. My work experience is a smorgasbord attributed to many relocations. I have worked in various facets of administration, customer service, Sales Manager, and Home Décor & Design. I am fortunate to be retired now and look forward in being part of the Proud Foundation and assisting however possible to achieve our goals. My volunteer service includes Spouses Assoc. (25yrs) and NMCRS over 6yrs. Being a military wife has been a blessing and a challenge. Overall, it has given me opportunities that I would never have known, for which I am truly grateful.Allana Meyer
