Board Member
Liz O'Brien
Parent of a current Bodine student, the school made a very quick and positive impression on Liz and her family. The close knit feeling of the school’s community made joining Friends of Bodine a natural fit. Liz felt it was time to become more involved to support Bodine’s fundraising efforts to ultimately enhance the student and faculty experience.
Liz and her wife have lived in Philadelphia for 20 years and are raising two kids that are growing through the Philadelphia Public School District. Liz has served in several Finance/Accounting roles throughout her career and has always been one to join a social committee. She hopes to put her past experiences to use to further bolster the Friends of Bodine initiative.
