Meredith Wellington was elected unanimously to the Montgomery Parks Foundation Board of Trustees at the July 27, 2011 Board Meeting. Her election was enthusiastically approved the following day by the Montgomery County Planning Board.
Wellington serves as the President of Montgomery Women, a non-partisan leadership and political action committee that brings together women from across Montgomery County to advance common interests and support outstanding women in their quest for elected and appointed position. Ms. Wellington also served two terms on the Montgomery County Planning Board from July 1999- July 2007. An attorney who has been in private practice as well as with the federal government, Ms. Wellington is uniquely suited as to serve on the Foundation’s Board of Trustees.

That community center—modeled after the Lawton Center—opened in October 2009. On behalf of Bethesda Chevy Chase Baseball, she also secured the inclusion in the Friendship Heights Sector Plan of a Little League ballfield on the GEICO tract. She has a long-standing interest in parks both for conservation and active use.
She is an attorney, and has been in private practice, as well as with the federal government, while raising three sons. She lives with her family in Chevy Chase.
