MaryAnn Sanders

MaryAnn Sanders is a charter member of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Stanislaus County Board, where she has served as Past President and is currently the chair of the Operations Committee. She is also a Trustee for the Stanislaus County Board of Education and a former principal in the Sylvan Union School District. Additionally, she co-chairs the Chamber of Commerce Business-Education Committee.

MaryAnn’s journey with the Boys & Girls Clubs began out of curiosity about what children in the area did after school. That curiosity led her to visit B.G.C facilities in Tracy and San Lorenzo, where she was impressed by the way the Club promoted physical activity, supported education, and helped children feel valued and important. She was especially drawn to the seamless collaboration between school sites and B.G.C, describing it as a well-oiled machine where both systems worked hand-in-hand to support youth success. She saw firsthand how the Club built essential bridges between academic and after-school programs, ensuring that no child was left in the dark.
