Naragon, Sandy

Education: Bachelor’s degree, University of Akron

Toughest Challenge: Earning my degree. It took 15 years of night school because I worked full time and paid for each semester myself. I graduated cum laude.

Greatest Inspiration: The children, families and staff I’ve met through my volunteering at the Rotary Camp for Children with Special Needs

Best Advice: Look up the definition of words you don’t know.

What Keeps Me Up at Night: The racial inequality and subsequent racial tension facing our communities and nation. My commitment is to learn, be brave enough to have tough conversations and support efforts toward purposeful change.

Hobby/Passion: RVing with my husband and two dogs. We started three years ago, and we have been to New England and midwestern states. Seeing our country and hiking is relaxing.
