On May 2, 2021, the Pull-Tight voting membership elected three new members to three-year terms on the Board of Directors: Jennifer Bennett, Leslie Berra, and Wade Woodruff.

She has been co-advisor for the Teen Youth Actors Guild (YAG) for many years, as well as taking on a number of backstage and committee roles. You have seen her onstage in Catch Me If You Can and Waiting in the Wings, and her work as director in Spamalot and four YAG musical variety shows.
