Our Team

Currently retired and recently moved to Santa Monica from the Boston area. Before retirement I spent 30 years as a management consultant specializing in strategic planning and team and leadership development. I also spent 10 years as a Human Resources professional.
I am very committed to working with non-profits whose mission I respect and with people who share my values.

I started the Berkeley chapter in 2019 after reading the NY Times article about FFF>50. Berkeley grew to over 1,000 members as it fulfilled the need we have for connection. My 30-year career as an attorney is winding down, and I've completed a mindfulness meditation teacher certification, a practice that has been the grounding force for much of my life. I love spending time with friends I met through hosting events in my chapter. I look forward to retiring so I can devote myself to Mindfulness instead of law.

With over 40 years in communi-cations, my past occupations range from radio announcer, journalist, and training instructor, to creative director and graphic designer. I’ve performed as a storyteller with The Moth, been published in Newsweek, and even penned a memoir, “A Day at the Fare: One Woman’s Welfare Passage.” Today, I thrive as a speaker, anti-poverty advocate, writer, and creative, who relocated to Georgia after 26 years in Virginia. Recog-nizing how FFF>50 enriches women’s lives, I was inspired to step up as the Atlanta Chapter Lead.

I’m excited to be the Ann Arbor chapter lead and help nurture friendships in our community. It’s rewarding to see new people come together and enjoy the great variety of activities we plan. I’m a retired teacher, married with three daughters, and three grandchildren. I enjoy reading, crafting, yoga and socializing.

Creating women’s communities that are both supportive and playful is something I enjoy so much that I formed my business around it! I’m the owner of Untamed Pathways LLC, and work as a Women's Holistic Living Coach, Travel Advisor, Retreat/Event Planner, Community Engagement Manager & Writer. I enjoy nature, art, history and culture. I look forward to getting to know you, sharing adventures together and enjoying our lovely community!

Patricia Linderman lives in Falls Church, VA and loves exploring the DC area by Metro, e-bike, kayak and sometimes by car. She turned her own health around in her 50s and then became a health coach to support others in their own journeys. Her work is also her play, as she leads an outdoor workout, a balance class and Laughter Yoga sessions, among other activities. She loves the diverse, fun and fascinating women she's met through FFF>50 and is dedicated to helping the DC group grow and thrive.

I retired from the motion picture film processing industry in 2005 and moved from the ‘burbs’ to Los Angeles proper. I joined FFF>50 in 2007, and became a founding member and co-organizer. When COVID hit, I started hosting online ‘Happy Hours,’ which eventually blossomed into a variety of weekly events. I’ve met delightful women from all walks of life, love to hear their stories, and share my love of movies, philosophy, and politics. These years with the women of FFF>50 have been the most rewarding of my life, and I look forward to many more.

Women’s groups were a lifeline for me when I moved to Colorado over a decade ago. I’m now proud to call the Denver area home. I look forward to sharing the great variety of activities available here with others. I’m an indoorsy person, so you’ll see me hosting events like movies, museums, crafting, and such. However, the wonderful thing about FFF>50 is that the members can shape the group by hosting any event they desire. I look forward to seeing what Denver members come up with!

After retiring from a successful corporate career, I discovered a passion for inspiring and supporting women over 50 as they navigate their next chapter through Second Act Inspiration. My interests include traveling, interior design, writing, and reading, which fuels my love for continuous learning and creativity. I am excited to be part of a community where women can expand friendships, share knowledge and interests, or simply enjoy meaningful conversations over coffee. Together, we celebrate the joy of connection and the endless possibilities that life after 50 has to offer!

I’m excited to be working with FFF>50 to foster friendships and enhance the well-being of women. From my first career as a librarian through over 20 years as a business analyst, I bring my passion for organizing information and connecting people with the resources they need. I’ve worked with a variety of businesses from startups to global industry leaders in non-profit organizations, government, and education companies.

Born and raised in Pennsylvania, I recently moved to Santa Fe having spent 30 years in Colorado. I met so many great women through group meetups in Colorado and I look forward to exploring the many activities here in Santa Fe and building new friendships. I enjoy wine and food, music, artisan markets and casual outdoor fun (e.g., walking, hiking, biking) just to name a few, so you will see me hosting events like these. I’m excited to see what other events Santa Fe members want to do for fun!

I’m a veterinarian. When I'm not wrangling furry critters, I enjoy sea kayaking, birdwatching, fishing, snowshoeing and appreciating the beauty of the four seasons. The isolation of the COVID years and the recent passing of a dear friend made me realize that, for the first time in my life, I felt lonely. In my quest to meet new people and establish friendships, I discovered FFF>50 and am so grateful for this opportunity to serve as the Portland chapter co-lead.
I look forward to helping nurture the growth of the Portland Chapter and along the way, establishing lasting friendships with like-minded women.
