Meet the Staff

Mary Woodman Amato / Administrative Coordinator – Admin@Communityworks.com
There is a great spirit of creative teamwork and purpose at CW. My Maine, small-town beginnings give me a strong connection to the values of “community”. These are expressed through wonderful diversity and focus in the intention and action of CW. When asked, “What is the meaning of life?” The Dalai Lama answered – “To be happy and to make others happy”. This is the work we do at CW; just about the most positively rewarding place I’ve ever worked.”An EdM and Doctoral work at HGSF has only confirmed my realization of the importance of kindness in the world…working for Social Justice.
