Kari Rodgers.  Kari worked for twelve years in the communications industry, mostly with the firm of Young and Rubicam, where she was a partner.  In 2007 she took a break from her career to spend time with her three young children, including newborn twins.  Now Kari’s putting her skills back to work, advising Global Grandmothers on communications and marketing, especially in the social media world.  Kari lives in San Francisco, California.

Lynda Storek.  An educator for 40 years, Lynda ran her 4th and 5th grade classrooms as teacher, and then her middle school as principal, with high standards, incredible energy and a hilarious sense of humor.  She brings those same qualities to grandmothering her eight grandchildren and advising Global Grandmothers on the Kids’ Page.  Lynda lives in San Rafael, California.

Take the Global Grandmothers' pledge and start giving to children in need when you give to your own grandkids.
