She will join the three existing EAC members on the Board, Janet Millsaps (Westcare Health System), Stephen Mace (Southeastern Container) and Sam Williams (Budweiser of Asheville) who collectively represent the employer community on Crescent's Board of Trustees. The Board now comprises 19 members; ten physician representatives, five hospital representatives and four employers.

After a twelve year career with the federal government, she returned to work for her Tribe in 2003. A Certified Employee Benefit Specialist (CEBS), Arizona is also a board member of the Qualla Arts and Crafts Co-Operative. "We're delighted that Jane was voted by her peers to become a member of our Board," commented Myrna Harvey, Crescent's CEO.
