Mary Anne McMillan
Board Member
Hageman House and Farmland Chair

Mary Anne McMillan is a Horticultural Therapist. With experience as a former Office Coordinator for an equipment department of a major corporation and currently a coordinator of the volunteers for Rutgers Gardens, she feels that she has a lot to offer The Meadows. She was responsible for writing the Policies and Procedures for the corporate department and relied on that experience as a member of the Meadows Policies and Procedure committee. Every organization needs to understand volunteer management, especially non profits.

Like so many other Meadows members, Mary Anne became involved through her association with Dr. Bruce Hamilton, one of the founding Meadows members. It was 12 years ago while at the Rutgers Gardens that he sparked her interest in saving these wonderful old Meadows Foundation houses and she became a member of the Van Wickle house for 12 years and participated at every Pumpkin Patch and Sinterklaas since.

Mary Anne has served 9 years on the Board of Directors, holding the offices of Secretary for 4 years and VP for 4 years, as well as a member of the strategic planning and lease committees. Currently she is chairperson of the Hageman Farm House, member of the Policy and Procedures Committee and the Living History Committee.

Additionally Mary Anne volunteers as an Executive Board member/Treasurer of the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of American Horticultural Therapy Association (AHTA), and Middlesex County Master Gardener as Coordinator of the Horticultural Therapy committee/program. She is a former Board Member of the Scotch Plains High School Alumni.

Mary Anne is honored with a certificate of recognition from Middlesex County Master Gardeners 2004 and in 1996 with a certificate of recognition from The Meadows Foundation.
