Jann Simmons (Moderator)
After devoting much of her adult life to raising her two daughters, Jann launched a successful 15-year career as an Executive Administrator in the banking industry. Jann is now retired and enjoying her life to the fullest. She thrives in her roles as mother and grandmother. She spends her time volunteering, painting and traveling. She is proud to say, she has traveled to Hawaii, Italy, St. Thomas, St. John, St. Croix, Puerto Rico, Haiti and Mexico, all destinations she never dreamed of seeing in her lifetime.
