About Our Keynote, Margaret Stinnett

Margaret loves working in the service of others. A native of Sylvan Springs, Alabama, Margaret started her education at Birmingham Southern College and then moved on to the University of California, Irvine. She has volunteered and worked in non-profits for over 30 years. Margaret left the Birmingham Boys Choir Executive Director job in October of 2018 and started a new adventure with Hand in Paw in November of 2018. She is excited about the successful Capital Campaign of Hand in Paw, and along with a strong staff, volunteers, community partners and a very devoted Board of Directors, she knows the future is bright for Hand in Paw! Margaret shares her home with children, cats, dogs and a lot of laughter. If she has a spare moment, she dreams of Paris, sits down to play the piano or watch The Office.
