President

Mary oversees the financial and administrative matters of the foundation.

Her business experience included ownership and operation of a wholesale printing company; financial management for a software business; and she is currently Business Manager, Lower Providence Community Library, Eagleville, Pennsylvania, a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization. In addition, Mary has served the community as a volunteer for the past twenty years in school, athletic, community-based and religious organizations, including President of Arrowhead Elementary School Home and School Association and Treasurer of Methacton Soccer Association.

Mary is the mother/stepmother of 5 children, including Marc Small who originated the concept for this foundation. Marc suggested the name “Small Steps in Speech” for Amanda’s work before leaving for active duty in Afghanistan in early 2009.

Her charitable work is now devoted to activities that benefit children in Marc’s name; including this foundation, the annual “On Your Marc” 5K run, and the annual Marc J. Small Memorial Soccer Tournament. She enjoys running, biking, traveling and spending time with her family and friends. “The loss of my son has been devastating to me and my family, but this foundation, which is dedicated to Marc’s love of helping children, will keep his memory alive.” This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
