We are fortunate to have Joan Apple Lemoine as our Administrative Director, a position she has held since July of 2009.
Previously, Joan served on the Board of Directors for two years as Vice President for Membership. In that position, she had attracted an active group of volunteers and had established protocol for many needs arising out of the Council’s expansion of programs and community outreach.
Joan, originally from Indiana, has been a resident of Hilton Head since January 2003. She is a graduate of Indiana University with a Bachelor and Masters in Speech and Theatre and a doctorate in Higher Education Administration. Joan served as the chief student affairs official at four colleges: Indiana University East as Director of Student Services; Western Connecticut State University as Dean of Students; Rutgers University as Dean for Academic and Student Affairs of Douglass College; and the University of South Carolina Beaufort as Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs.
As Administrative Director, Joan is responsible for the overall administration of the Council under the direction of the President and Board of Directors. Joan facilitates the affairs of the council and membership at large, and is ever present at the reception desk at all events.
