Siobhán was elected to the Conclave Board on November 12th, and immediately volunteered to assist in chairing the Scholarship Committee. Said Siobhán, “Community is the center of The Conclave’s message and I look forward to integrating this with our Scholarship outreach.  I’m looking forward to getting out into the community and helping youngsters who are looking for direction like I was when I discovered The Conclave.”
