Jo Lynn is a self-described country girl at heart. Born and raised in rural Ohio, she retains a strong appreciation of nature and animals. She also exudes a can-do, help-those-you-can attitude. Over the years she has volunteered in programs such as adult literacy, Junior Achievement and equine assisted therapy. She was part of the earliest discussions about founding The Greater Contribution and volunteered for special projects with us over the years.

Recently retired from the corporate scene, Jo Lynn continues to teach university courses online. Jo Lynn’s professional life focused on training and development. She is happiest when someone is learning, whether it is her, her colleagues or her friends. The business basics and literacy training that we provide to the women in Uganda is one of the things that led Jo Lynn to devote more time in support of The Greater Contribution when she retired from corporate life. Jo Lynn holds a Doctorate in Education as well as an MBA.
