Ashley Pray has been working in Fashion since she was in high school, and has always known it was her passion.  She decided last year that she wanted to be more involved in MODA, so she ran for Treasurer on e-board.  Ashley's work on e-board thus far has been an amazing learning experience. Most of the skills she will take with her into the future have come from MODA and the people involved.

Kathleen was recently voted as one of the philanthropy committee chairs.  She is proud to represent MODA in a different light by giving back to the community something other than fashion.  This Fall MODA will be working with the nonprofit organization, Loaves and Fishes, by having a canned food drive at the Fall Fashion Show.  Kathleen is also passionate about MODA's relationship with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation because she has a family friend that has been fighting breast cancer for the past year.  By being involved with the philanthropy committee, Kathleen hopes to earn her status as an active member of MODA and eventually run for the executive oard for the 2008-2009 year.
