In addition to her corporate role, Alsop is active in community leadership. She currently serves as vice chair of the Board of Directors at The Education Alliance and has previously served on the boards of United Way of Monongalia & Preston Counties, Children's Therapy Clinic, and the Board of Trustees of the University of Charleston.
Vonda Huss was appointed as a Class II director.
