In addition to being a steadfast Councilwoman, Jane was a member of the North Beach House and Garden Club, the Environmental Advisory Committee and was the founding vice-chair of the Bayside History Museum. She was a member of the Maryland Municipal League’s Legislative Committee, President of Southern Maryland Municipal Association twice and served as vice chair of the Bay Community Health Board of Directors.
