AMHS MEMBER MARIA MARIGLIANO DISCUSSES DISTINGUISHED CAREER WITH RESIDENTS OF THE WESTMINSTER AT LAKE RIDGE

On Thursday, February 8, residents of the Westminster at Lake Ridge Retirement Community in Lake Ridge, Virginia, had the distinct pleasure of welcoming Holy Rosary Church’s organist and choir director, Maria Marigliano, to speak to its Current Events Forum. Maria, who recently retired from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), was invited by Lucio D’Andrea, a resident of the Westminster and Chair of the Forum, to speak about her distinguished career at USAID.

Maria spoke about the mission of USAID, to promote and demonstrate democratic values abroad, and to assist developing countries. She also spoke about her mission travels to Afghanistan, the Caribbean, Latin America, and Pakistan. In the picture with Maria and Lucio is Westminster resident George Marling, who shared with Maria stories about his experience serving in civilian and military intelligence. Maria was accompanied by her mother, Carmela Ventresca.
