She joined The Circle in 2016 and was pleased to learn that the VBMA and The Circle were providing help and outreach to all in need.

In her career, Gerri was VP of Northern Campuses for Florida Atlantic University and served on 12 boards. She represented the President of Florida Atlantic University on economic development impacting Florida’s diverse population and has participated in Leadership Florida, a group that meets across the state to fundraise and network.
