Manatee Literacy Council Welcome New Board Members

By  | 

Mayu Fielding, Board President of the Manatee Literacy Council (MLC), recently announced the appointment of four new members to their Board of Directors. 

Julia Marcano hails from Venezuela and has been living in Bradenton since December. Julia is a chef and a baker, introducing her native food to our area through her catering business. She came to MLC as a learner to improve her English.

Alfredo ‘Fred’ Zayas was born in Trinidad, Cuba where he worked as a medical physicist in the National Oncology Institute. Fred moved to Bradenton two years ago to be closer to his children and was looking for a way to learn English. Both Fred and Julia will act as liaisons with the organization’s learners.

Carl Williams, Jr. is currently assistant principal at Sarasota School of Arts and Sciences. Carl was born and raised in Sarasota and now lives in Manatee County. He has worked for the school system for the past 23 years and currently serves in the role of middle school administrator.

Meagan Morales-Correa

Meagan Morales-Correa was born in Puerto Rico, but has lived all over the United States as an Army Brat. She holds two degrees from SUNY Purchase in New York and a Master’s degree from USF. She currently teaches English at Bayshore High School.

“We are so pleased to welcome these new additions to our Board” says Mrs. Fielding. “Our Board reflects the diverse background of both our administrators and learners.” Board members currently serve two-year terms.
