Ann Moore, President (read bio)
Ann Moore received her undergraduate degree in journalism from UC Berkeley and did post-graduate work at Hastings Law School in San Francisco. After a “career” as a mother, she wrote law-related curricula for grades K-12. She also was the Executive Director of the Arthritis Foundation for 10 years. Since retiring from the Foundation, she has helped raise funds for non-profit programs, such as the Center for Successful Aging. Ann also does presentations about Medicare and Social Security and, as a “history buff,” she focuses on the history of entitlement programs. She is active in and/or serves on the boards for numerous non-profit organizations, such as the Santa Barbara Symphony League, Junior League of Santa Barbara, Speaking of Stories and Santa Barbara Associates. Ann finds serving on UCSB’s History Associates Board extremely rewarding, because “we help gifted young people who love history to not only realize their dreams but to share their knowledge and enthusiasm with future generations.”
