Volunteer Leader Balances Family Roots With Statewide Service
Mary Bright of South Charleston leads the West Virginia Federation of Women's Clubs and directs the Arthritis Foundation in the state. She notes early family needs spurred her many roles, from church volunteer work to PTA and scouting, now coordinating 13 000 clubwomen and guiding 75 state volunteers while logging over 10 000 miles in her first year as president. Her drive extends to highway safety efforts with the West Virginia Safety Council and Women’s Highway Safety Leaders, shaping a lifetime of civic service driven by motherhood and community.
