Family Strengths Network is excited to introduce to the community our new director, Mitsi Pair Willard!
Mitsi and her family, which includes four children, moved to Los Alamos from Abilene, Texas two years ago. Mitsi received her MA and PhD in Foreign Language Education from University of Texas - Austin. She has worn many hats in her professional life. These include teaching (Spanish and Reading to kids ages 3 to 8th grade, and Secondary Education at the college level), other educational roles, and directing children’s programs at an Episcopal Church, all in Texas. Since moving to Los Alamos, she’s worked as an educator at PEEC in capacities that have allowed her to get to know many families of the area.
Mitsi was drawn to FSN and the Executive Director position because as a relatively new resident of Los Alamos, she knows the importance and challenges of establishing personal connections. This position pulls together her background in education, her interest in working with families, and her desire to make a difference in the community. She sees the value of what FSN offers and looks forward to collaborating with the staff, Board, and other organizations to continue the mission of FSN.
Mitsi and her family enjoy traveling (mostly road trips and National Parks), hiking, skiing, and camping. She also has a musical side - she is relearning to play guitar and recently played the the role as Mrs. Phelps in LALO’s Matilda the Musical.
Mitsi will officially start as new director on July 1, 2023
