Board of Directors & Staff
Meagan Sexton
President

Having the chance to help students experience the Catholic education I enjoyed makes taking time to participate on the CBN board worth it. CBN is also a great place to catch up with our Catholic community in Montgomery County.
Geoff Gonella
Immediate Past President
Cornerstone Government Affairs
I am proud to support the CBN-MC because it is an organization that understands the importance and promotes the many benefits of Catholic education. Is there anything more important to the next generation than a quality catholic education? I certainly don’t think so and neither do the broad and diverse group of professionals throughout our community that participate in the CBN-MC.
Joe Barton
Cornerstone Government Affairs
I was drawn to CBN because of it’s a great community of people committed to promoting Catholic education. Over the years I have found CBN-MC events, especially the monthly breakfasts, to be great opportunities for fellowship.
Ana Chapa
Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School
CBN brings mission minded business people together to support Catholic education. As the director of a Catholic school work study program I have always felt at home with other CBN members. We are all working to make our community stronger by connecting well run businesses and supporting people (students and professionals) on their faith journey.
Anne Gemunder
St. Martin of Tours Catholic School
Our mission states, “Education changes lives, be part of the future.” I have seen firsthand the positive
impact of a Catholic education. It does indeed change lives. Successful area businesses are a key to being
part of that future. My goal, as a CBN-MC board member, is to help build business relationships that
benefit both our companies and the Catholic students we support. Join us and help us in our efforts!
J.B. Gerald
Washington Jesuit Academy
As a Jesuit educator service is extremely important and goes hand in hand with the CBN-MC's mission. A mission to provide resources and opportunities for students in the Catholic School Network. Children are the future, and a quality education is paramount. I am extremely excited about being a part of the Catholic Business Network of Montgomery County and contributing to its’ mission “Education changes lives, be part of the future.”

For me it is very simple: I am a product of Catholic Education, my wife is a product of Catholic Education and my children are products of Catholic Education. It is so important to reinforce the Catholic values that we learn at home, by attending Catholic school. I feel blessed to be a part of an organization whose mission is to support Catholic education.
Chris Maloney
Saint John's College High School
I support the Catholic Business Network because its purpose is plain and pure: to serve students in Catholic school in need of support in whatever that may take. I have been privileged to work in Catholic schools of the Archdiocese of Washington for 24 years. I have seen the impact of the Catholic Business Network's mission on a daily basis. What CBN does matters to so many. It is an unalloyed grace to work with this group.
Tommy McCloskey
Palm Facility Services
As a product of MOCO Catholic schools (Holy Redeemer and Gonzaga), I can personally attest to the value that these schools provide, not just academically but in developing the faith of its students. I am proud to support CBN as an important partner in our community so that other children can receive the same solid foundation that I received…allowing them to thrive throughout their lives.
Ana Morales
United Bank
CBN allows me to meet, network, and forge lasting relationships with business men and women in our community of similar faith and values. CBN’s commitment to supporting Catholic education is an equally important part of why I serve as a Board Member.
Anabel Quintero
MV Financial
I am a firm believer that Catholic education gives children a better environment in which receive an education and helps instill strong core values that last a lifetime. My sister and I were unable to continue with our Catholic education as children due to financial constraints. My faith and passion keep me grounded and call me to help when and where I can which is why it is an honor to serve on the CBN Board of Directors. I also enjoy being involved in a business community of like-minded people that encourage, support and truly care about each other.
Alice Kelley Scanlon
Anderson Quinn
As a proponent and product of Catholic education, I was drawn to the mission of CBN of connecting Catholic schools, families and businesses while also providing opportunities for networking and supporting local businesses. All three of my children attended Catholic schools and by supporting CBN, I hope to ensure that others have those same opportunities.
Tim Schofield

I enjoy the sense of community that CBN has. Throughout my involvement It has been great to have people to connect with for business or personal inquiries. Ruppert has been involved for many years in CBN and personally I have been involved for about 18 months.
Greta Vento
DC-Net
I like the overall purpose of the organization and I believe in the importance of Catholic education, the deep spiritual immersion and the academic excellence that it fosters to every student. Families work hard to cover the cost of tuition and I love being part of a community that provides opportunities for more families to have access to Catholic education and their lifelong benefits

The work that CBN does to help our local Catholic Schools is the main reason I work for the Catholic Business Network. In addition, getting to know the members of this organization has been a wonderful bonus. I always enjoy seeing the smiling faces of our members and guests at the Friday breakfasts and evening receptions.
