The DWPC Executive Board is comprised of members of our community who are passionate about serving women and families. Each has committed time and energy in our programs and projects, and each has built new friendships with fellow DWPC members.
Cindy Thatcher, President
I am a realtor with Steve Smith & Associates Keller Williams Consultants in Dublin. In my spare time I like to walk and play tennis, travel and be with my girlfriends. Kindness inspires me. I love helping and being resourceful for people who ask me to do so.
Wendy Stohr, Vice President
I joined DWPC in 2018 shortly after my youngest child left for college. Being involved with this wonderful organization is extremely rewarding and gratifying.
Although retired, I spend time working at our small family business. Family is my number one joy, followed by tennis and traveling.
Susan Odoguardi, Secretary
I’ve been a member of the Dublin Women’s Philanthropic Club since 2020, drawn to its mission of giving back to the community alongside like-minded women. As a mother of four, I was actively involved in volunteering through my daughters’ schools and activities and found new purpose serving on the club’s scholarship committee, which has been incredibly rewarding. Recently retired from a career as a registered dietitian, I enjoy traveling, gardening, cheering on the Buckeyes, and spending time with my growing family and our rescue Collie.
Megan Watkins, Treasurer
My family and I moved to Dublin in 2019. I joined the DWPC in 2022 after learning about the organization. I joined to meet women with similar interests, especially with a focus on giving back to the community. I work for Huntington National Bank as the IT Director for the Enterprise Data Warehouse. My family is my number one priority and keeps me on my toes between school activities and sports. In my spare time, I love to travel and and spend time outside hiking, biking, boating or just enjoying the sunshine.
Kristin Keesbury, Assistant Treasurer
I joined DWPC in 2023 and currently serve as the assistant treasurer. I also manage the club’s website, email and social media platforms and am proud to co-chair the 2025 Gala Fundraiser. I live in the Dublin school district with my husband and our two young daughters and two rescue dogs. I enjoy spending time with my family and finding new ways to support and give back to our Dublin community.
Sharon Zimmers, Membership Co-Chair
In 2001, I moved to Dublin to become Superintendent of the Dublin City Schools. My very first speech was to the Dublin Women’s Club. I became a member shortly after. I am concerned about those less fortunate and believe the DWPC does a great job helping others. I am a graduate of Miami University of Ohio and Bowling Green State University for my doctorate. I have been fortunate to have travelled with my family to all seven continents.
Christine Hague, Scholarship Chair
I joined the Dublin Women’s Philanthropic Club in 2018. My favorite part of the club is reading about the amazing accomplishments of our high school scholarship recipients, and the new friends I have made.
I live in Dublin with my husband and our three children. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, reading, doing yoga and traveling.
Kathy Mangiola, Trustee
I have been a member of the DWPC since 2019. I throughly enjoy this group of woman who are continually doing good things for the Dublin community. As a mother of three and recent grandmother, I spend most of my free time focused on family and friends. My husband and I also love to travel, cook and cheer on Ohio State Football.
Terri Butler, Trustee
I was active in the DWPC in the nineties and then rejoined about 10 years ago. I am a retired English professor that loves photography, traveling, cooking, entertaining, gardening, walking and spending time with my family and friends. I’m also a huge OSU Buckeye fan. I love this group because we give back to our wonderful Dublin community in so many ways, and our members have a great camaraderie.
Chris Lippe, Trustee
My family and I moved to Dublin in 1990. I have been a member of DWPC since 1992. In 2019, I retired from my position as a Magistrate Judge at Franklin County Common Pleas Court. I enjoy meeting our new members, working with our long time members, and am dedicated to our mission of serving the Dublin community and raising funds for scholarships.
