Retired manufacturing, nonprofit executive joins Sarasota foundation board

After a year of retirement, Laura Spencer, a former C-suite executive, is stepping into a new role: board member. 

The Sarasota-based William G. and Marie Selby Foundation board recently elected Spencer as its newest  member. 

Spencer retired last year as CFO of the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, a position she held for 10 years. Her 40-year career also included a few years leading drinkware manufacturer Tervis as CEO and nine years with CPA firm Kerkering, Barberio & Co.
