New Board Members Bring Multiple Skills to Mosaic By Sherry Bale Mosaic has elected six new board members—four to the Mosaic Board of Directors and two to The Mosaic Foundation Board of Directors this year—who will each serve three-year terms. “We are extremely grateful for the new Board members’ strong, varying skills and talents,” said Mosaic CEO and President Linda Timmons. “Among many of our strategic objectives to position Mosaic for the future, they will help steer the organization’s expansion to support more people with diverse needs in more communities.” New Mosaic Foundation Board Directors Janet Byars Janet, who possesses an abundance of community involvement and board experience, has a family legacy with Mosaic and Martin Luther Home— one of Mosaic’s two founding ministries. “My grandfather served on the Martin Luther Home board during the ’40s and ’50s, my father and mother worked there in the ’70s and ’80s, respectively in donor development and direct support,” said Janet. “My husband worked for MLH in government relations. By serving on the Mosaic Foundation board, I hope to continue our family’s legacy of supporting individuals with IDD and pass that legacy on to future generations.” Mary Sersland Mary is a former special education teacher with more than 33 years of experience teaching skills to students with various disabilities. Her son is supported by Mosaic, and she grew up with a brother with IDD. Mary has participated in her local Mosaic’s fundraisers—including as a speaker—as well as serving on LifeWorks’ foundation board and board of directors. “Mosaic has done so much for my son and my family,” said Mary. “I will help the foundation board by bringing that unique perspective of what families want for their loved ones’ lives and howMosaic positively impacts those it supports.” Would you or someone you know make a great addition as a future board member?
