Nancy Jordan Board Member
Nancy comes from Fort Wayne, IN moving to the Grand Haven area in 2001. She worked for eight years as an Activities Director for a local Assisted Living Facility. She has three children and one granddaughter. Keeping children active in music and helping them pursue their music interests and talents are an important value to her. Music inspires everyone in their own way and helping to make a child’s wish come true to play an instrument is an important factor to all of us. Keeping music alive among the youth is what inspires me in this Foundation. |
