Treasurer - Kathy Singleton
Kathy joined EGA in 2000 while living in Chicago and transferred to the Orlando chapter in 2002. She has served as Secretary and Treasurer and currently is serving as First Vice President-Programs for the Central Florida Chapter. While she may have come lately to EGA, she has enjoyed embroidery all of her life, learning from her grandmother at an age she can no longer remember. With a BS in Math and Education from the University of Missouri, a career switch was made and she entered the accounting profession by becoming a Revenue Agent for the IRS. Soon after, she moved to Lincoln NE with her husband and son. There, she completed an MBA at the University of Nebraska and passed the CPA exam. After several moves with her spouse, she has now “retired” to Ocoee FL (a suburb of Orlando) where she enjoys several hobbies: preparing returns during the tax season, her three granddaughters, her garden and, of course, her embroidery. She thought her UFO pile would decrease when she ‘retired’ but it seems to have doubled in size! Guess that pile will continue to grow while she gladly gives more of her time to EGA.
