Glen’s Board.

We are honored to serve and are leading with our whole heart.

Janet McCarthy

Founder & President

Every not for profit is started with a personal story. And our story is about Janet's brother, Glen. Glen tragically lost his life in June 2022 as one of 2000 cyclists participating in a charity bicycle ride to support AIDS. Janet's passion and drive to be the founder of Glen's Friends has come from his passing and their beautiful loving relationship.

Janet has spent her professional career in the Senior Housing Industry as a leader in Business Development and Marketing. Along with owning and operating several brick/mortar Retail businesses. Her ability to lead a team and build a business has been at the root of her career. Her commitment to do good for others through the actions of Glen's amazing life, along with Glen's Friend's Mission Statement is at the forefront of all we will do.

Diane Corbett

Secretary

Diane and Glen met in first grade. If they weren’t competing for chair positions in the clarinet section of the band, they were chasing each other around the playground and in the process became lifelong friends. Diane has treasured Glen’s friendship and the memories that they shared.

Her goal as a board member of Glen’s Friends is to combine her accomplished legal talents with her deep passion to share Glen’s story. Her hope is that others will benefit from the enduring love Glen showed all of his friends throughout his lifetime. Diane has developed an established professional career in the affordable housing and community development legal arena for over 30 years.

She is a successful attorney with Applegate & Thorne-Thomsen, P.C.

Heidi Wolter

Treasurer

Heidi and Glen met their first day of classes at Augustana College. They became Biology lab partners and life-long friends. She went on to receive a BA in Accounting and Business Administration as well as her CPA certification. Heidi brings career-long experience in healthcare and non-profits, both in the public accounting and private sectors, to her role as Treasurer for Glen's Friends.

She retired after 23 years as SVP Corporate Operations for the American Heart Association - Midwest Region, in September 2022. At AHA, Heidi was responsible for business technology, facility, finance, legal, and risk management matters for a 13-state region. She plans on using her expertise to help bring Glen's Friends to life and to ensure its lasting impact and legacy.

Judith Weirauch

Board Member

Judith and Glen met in second grade and enjoyed a friendship that included both playing in the band and acting on the stage. As adults, they enjoyed not only an enduring friendship, but one that was deepened through their shared connection to the LGBTQ+ community.

Judith is proud to be a member of the Board, one that is dedicated to continuing Glen's legacy of love and kindness. She hopes to lend her expertise in the world of mental health and to spread acceptance and connection within the community and beyond.

She is a licensed Clinical Therapist in the field of mental health, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified Grief Professional, and is the Founder + President of her private practice, Mind Stance, Inc.
