Although the plan was to live in Hercules temporarily for a few years, Maddie decided to stay way beyond, topping three decades. After leaving corporate law firms to pursue non-profit interests, she decided to explore the City & County of San Francisco, working alongside the Government Team at the City Attorney’s Office, and the Airport General Counsel’s Office with the Airports Commission in its Regulatory and Legislative Affairs Division, primarily on issues involving equity and access in contracting, and there she retired. Since 2004, Maddie’s outreach to numerous non-profit organizations and academic institutions in higher education within the Bay Area has delivered in-class, after-school programs and extracurricular activities to both private and public school classrooms, at either zero or minimal cost, in support of K-12 students. While her younger daughter attended Hercules High School, Maddie served on the School Site Council, and co-founded the Hercules High School’s Parent Teacher Organization (now conjoined with the Middle School) and began her partnership with the Hercules Education Foundation. She is married to an avid golfer, has a younger daughter in college, the older one in Texas, and six grandchildren. She enjoys spending time with family and friends, good reads, traveling, music, and ongoing cooking competitions with her husband!
