Annu is passionate about volunteering to make a difference. She was the PTSA treasurer for two years at Newcastle Elementary and joined the IACS executive board in 2012 to give back to the community. She has served on the IACS board as Secretary, Vice President, President and this is her ninth year as the Youth Leadership Program Director.
