Audrey Holmes- Mayfield developed an interest early in life to special populations who felt they had no “VOICE” to express their challenges and needs. So, her lifelong journey has been to make a difference in the lives of those who have been underserved!
Audrey Holmes Mayfield- became a mother before she developed as a woman which interrupted plans but taught her perseverance and the importance of support systems.
Audrey Holmes- Mayfield has a bachelor’s degree in Social Work and master’s degree in Public Administration.
She has over 40 years’ experience in assisting special populations, receiving many community awards.
Developed many programs and services that assisted single parents, low-income families as well as occupational career options. She is excited to be a part of FWA for so many reasons but the main one is that is about helping people reach their goals, see their potential, and excel!
I have the skill set and the desire to make a difference in the lives of this special population.
“Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.”
