Our Board

9 to 5 for Christ is blessed with an amazing group of women who faithfully serve God and our organization in various capacities. Without their talents, vision, and leadership, 9 to 5 for Christ would surely not exist! Here is our roster of board members:

	Penny Childers, Fellowshop Vendor Coordinator Penny is retired from IRS, where her career focused on leadership and leadership training. Since leaving IRS, she has served as a volunteer, assistant director, and executive director of Samaritan Women, an organization that assists women who are coming out of jail and prison. The last five years Penny was heavily involved with Chapel of Grace, whose sole purpose was raising funds to build gardens and a sanctuary at Valley State Prison for Women. These were dedicated in May of 2011. She is now writing a series of books that tell the stories of women she has met through her work with prison ministries. Penny's passion in life is to inspire others to make a positive difference.
	Cathy Ferguson, ED.D, Secretary Cathy Ferguson is the Chief Executive Officer of the Girl Scouts of Central California South which serves five counties and over 13,000 girls. Her background includes University teaching, fund development, program development and administration of non-profits. She has coached swimming at all levels and is a past Olympic Champion. Cathy is a motivational speaker and travels throughout the country speaking on goal setting and achieving your dreams. Her current position allows her to fulfill her life's mission of helping young girls develop to their full potential by making good decisions. Cathy's greatest desire is to have God's purpose fulfilled in her life, and 9 to 5 for Christ gives her the opportunity to network and grow in Christ through the wonderful women who belong to this great organization.
	Vickie Goudreau, Vice President Vickie is the owner of Innovation Commercial Flooring serving the Central Valley. It is a certified Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and a Disadvantage Business Enterprise (DBE), that provides consultation, sales and installation of commercial flooring and coatings products. She LOVES being a part of 9 to 5 For Christ because she knows God is moving in amazing ways in the Marketplace and it's a way of partnering with Him.
	Connie Homen, Treasurer Connie is an accountant/office manager at Berry and Homen Accountancy Corporation. She has been involved with 9 to 5 for Christ since its inception. Connie walks out of the dinner meeting every month feeling inspired and on fire for the Lord. The most important thing she loves about 9 to 5 for Christ is that the board focuses on the fact that God is in control and at the center of the organization. And, He has blessed the members and attendees in so many ways we will never know
	Becky Kellam, Member Care Coordinator Becky has had a passion for helping women since she was a woman in business for over 20 years and then God called her to the college classroom at Reedley College 27 years ago to teach business. For the first 10 years teaching there, her students were primarily women who needed and wanted to learn computer applications for business. She retired from college teaching in 2010 and is following the opportunities God is giving her to work with 9 to 5 for Christ, Bible Story Telling, and the 2011 Constitution Day Project for our public schools throughout the nation.
	Laura McGrew, President Laura is the founder of 9 to 5 for Christ and also the Executive Director of Junior Achievement serving the Central Valley. She enjoys utilizing her skills in teaching entrepreneurship and financial literacy to inspire and prepare young people to own their economic success. Laura is a speaker, writer and a regular contributor to Salt Fresno Magazine. Her passion is that God would use 9 to 5 for Christ to encourage women to live their faith in their workplace and honor and glorify Him in all aspects of our life.
