BOARD MEMBERS
The Danville Schools Education Foundation & Alumni Association is governed by an all volunteer group of community board members.
Loudetta Robertson
ACTING CO-PRESIDENT, Treasurer
Loudetta was a 1972 graduate of Danville High School. She went on to graduate from Eastern Kentucky University with Bachelor of Arts in Accounting.
Loudetta has worked in the accounting field for more than 30 years. Past positions include: Controller - Council of State Governments; Controller - Computrex; Senior Financial Analyst - RR Donnelley; Assistant Controller - Quad Graphics; Accounting Manager - Panasonic; and Accounting Manager - Lincoln Manufacturing USA. She also has her own tax practice at home.
Loudetta has a strong passion for Danville School system and Danville Alumni. Her desire would be for all students in the Danville school system to lead successful lives. She likes to think outside of the box and feel that we need to be flexible in educating our youth - since we are all not cut from the same cookie cutter.
Loudetta and her grandson, a Danville High student, live in Danville.
Gail Wright
ACTING Co-PRESIDENT, Secretary
Gail moved to Danville in 1976 from New York. Her husband at the time was teaching at Centre College. In 1980, Gail started working in the Danville Schools where she served until 2011. Gail spent seven years at Toliver in both the G/T position (for the district) and in fourth grade. In 1987, the district created Elementary Counselor positions and she finished her career in that role for 24 years at Jennie Rogers Elementary.
Gail has one daughter, Jennifer, who attended DHS, who, after earning her Bachelors and Masters degrees, is now married with one little boy, living in Arlington, Massachusetts and working in Boston.
Gail has been on the foundation board since retiring in 2011 and has been secretary the entire time.
