After a nearly three-month search, the SB NOW Board of Directors is pleased to announce the selection of Pamela S. Skarda as the organization’s new leader.

Pamela earned a double Bachelors of Arts with High Academic Distinction at the University of Kansas and pursued graduate-level studies in Government Relations at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.   A native of Omaha, Nebraska, she has resided in the National Capital Area for two decades and currently makes her home in Maryland.
