Cynthia served as President of the Wheeler Alumni Board from 1987-1989 and was a member of the Board of Trustees from 1994-2000. She has also served on the Reunion Committee, and was a class Annual Fund agent, assisting Wheeler to remain engaged with her fellow 1970 classmates.
 

During her time on the Board of Trustees, Cynthia was a big proponent of the creation of The Hamilton School.
