Our Board seats 15 members who serve in 6 or 12 month rotations in the following positions:

Co-Leader - Jen Kmiec

My name is Jen and I’m excited to be back on the board! I am a reading specialist in East Aurora School District. I have two daughters. My girls are 8 & 10 and I love being leader for both of their Girl Scout Troops. My favorite event in Moms and More is book club. I love listening to books on Audible during my commute to and from school. I also enjoy playing Bunco. My other hobbies include crafting and shopping on Amazon.

Treasurer- Heather Daley

Heather joined Moms & More in 2015. Prior to her current stint as treasurer, Heather served as secretary, care coordinator, and three terms as a member of the Childrens’ Resale Committee. She lives in Aurora with her husband of nine years and her sons, Kyle (6) and Evan (infant). She recently became a stay-at-home mom after eight years in the banking industry. In her free time, she enjoys reading and planning learning activities for her son and his friends.

Secretary - Mariel Radell

Mariel joined the group in October 2016 at the Fall Open House. I only knew one person in the group but that night she was busy, and I didn’t even get to talk to her at the Open house. I sat at a big table with women that I didn’t even know. It felt awkward, but I thought to myself, “What do I have to lose if I give it a try?” So I introduced myself, and I felt comfortable and made connections right away! It felt natural to be part of a group of moms that shared the same interests as me! I really enjoy the Moms only events- Book club and Bunco nights are my favorites. If I would have known that there was a group like this 8 years ago, I wouldn’t have hesitated to join! As a first time mom with twins, and no family and friends around, I felt so lonely and isolated. But I am so thankful now that I’ve joined and stayed in the group. I have made so many friends and met a lot of amazing women in this group.



Marketing/Social Media (co-chair)- Grace Gould

Grace can't believe she has lived in Aurora for 10 years already with her husband Andrew and now two kiddos, 6 and 2. She has been a member of Moms and More since that first long, hard winter when her oldest was 9 months old and it was so hard to find anything to do and to meet mom friends. As the kids grow and needs change, she finds herself sometimes loving Book Club and Moms' Night Out, other times relying on playgroups and mom and tot outings, and sometimes just taking advantage of the awesome facebook community.

Membership - Vicki Petersen

Vicki and her husband, Chris, live in Aurora with their son, Calvin. Vicki juggles being a mom with her full-time job in communications for a regional hospital system and freelancing for specialty niche publications. When she’s not negotiating with her son to go to bed, Vicki enjoys practicing yoga and meditation, cooking, and reading. She also volunteers at events in her neighborhood and serves on the board of the AAUW Aurora Area Chapter. As a Moms & More member, Vicki enjoys book club and family activities. 

Community Outreach - 

Fundraising- Stephanie Spencer

Stephanie lives in Aurora with her husband, two daughters (7 and 4) and the best dog in the world. She joined Moms & More in 2017 when her oldest went off to kindergarten and she wanted activities and a playgroup for her youngest, as well as the chance to meet some new mom friends after relocating to Illinois from Ohio. Stephanie can often be found at the center of a game of tag or Simon Says with a swarm of children, as she is a kid at heart herself! When she's not busy with family obligations or Moms & More activities, Stephanie works part-time as a Career Counselor for Northern Illinois University, as well freelance coaching work with CareerArc, helping displaced workers find new employment. 

Kids Coordinator (co-chairs)-Kimberly Allgaeuer and Sara Leopold

Kimberly joined in 2012 while pregnant with her son. She has served on the Resale Committee for numerous sales, as well as previously served on the board as Leader, Newsletter/Social Media & Resale Chair. She lives in Aurora with her husband of 12 years and their two grade school children Ashley & Johnny, and infant Hailey. Kim is a stay-at-home mom who works part-time at Board & Brush Oswego and stays actively involved as Secretary of the school PTG, as well as her oldest daughter's jazz & hip-hop dance companies. In her otherwise limited free time, Kim can be found staring at her coffeemaker questioning how many cups she's already consumed, unintentionally memorizing Disney Jr theme songs, and pinning thousands of ideas on Pinterest that she most likely will never attempt.

Socials (co-chairs)-Mindy Ehrenfeld and Nikki Karl

Care coordinator- Maggie Mengesha-Cribbs
