Meet the Board
Jamie Welby
I am Maggie's Mom and one of the establishers of Maggie's Foundation. Since December of 2005, I have served as the President of Maggie's Foundation. I am teacher at Assumption Grade School. Maggie loved helping people and making them smile. Through Maggie's Foundation we can continue that! Whether it is awarding a scholarship or putting an event together, the Foundation always puts smiles on people's faces and makes them feel like they are a part of something special!
Jim Welby
I am Maggie's Dad, and along with Jamie helped establish Maggie's Foundation in 2005 after her sudden passing. I serve as the Secretary of the Maggie Welby Foundation. Professionally, I serve as the President of St. Dominic High School. Maggie's Foundation allows us to carry Maggie's memory forward in a manner that best represents her short life, helping others in need.
Chris Corrigan
I am Maggie's uncle and Godfather and have been on the board since inception as one of the original founders. I have been in the transportation industry since graduating college. Currently working for Show Me Logistics as a Business Development Executive and have been since 2017. I had the privilege to see Maggie brighten up whatever room she was in! She loved caring for others and making them happy. I feel it's my responsibility to pass on her passion to care for others in need.
