Dr. Lori Schwartz Reichl Making Key Changes: Mentorship & Motivation Unlocked

Dr. Lori Schwartz Reichl is the visionary thought leader of Making Key Changes. Her career began in music education where she learned the importance of a key change — a shift in music’s tonal center, used to inject energy or produce significance. Since transitioning out of a public school classroom, Lori has uniquely created a global classroom for her work. She guides organizations, teams, and individuals to create and maintain a shared vision by making key changes in their communities, companies, and careers to unlock their greatest potential in collaboration with those they love, serve, and lead.

Lori served as a proud public school teacher from 2001 through 2015 where she successfully led music programs for schools in rural and suburban areas, schools labeled Title I, and a school assigned to “corrective action.” In Pennsylvania, Lori received the Superintendent’s “Excellence in Teaching Award” from the Daniel Boone School District. In Maryland, Lori and her students received an Honorary Resolution from the Howard County Council, and she was a finalist for both the Howard County Parents for School Music “Educator of the Year Award” and the Howard County Public School System’s “Teacher of the Year Award.”

As a sought-after motivational speaker and consultant, Lori has presented hundreds of keynotes and sessions. She is the host of the weekly podcast, Making Key Changes, and the creator of its newsletter where she poses questions for reflection and offers actionable key changes to implement in our living and working situations. Lori is the author of nearly 100 articles and a graduate instructor for two courses designed on her writings for Vandercook College of Music (Chicago) and The University of the Arts (Philadelphia).

After being held back in first grade, transferring universities, switching majors, retaking the educator certification test due to a non-passing score, and being passed over for professional positions, Lori has experienced setbacks in learning and leading. These struggles have empowered Lori to make key changes to envision her life, refine her habits, focus her passion, and serve her purpose. Lori lives in Marriottsville, Maryland (Carroll County) with her husband and two active children.

Jen is the director of development at The Arc Carroll County, an organization that supports people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in their pursuit of a fulfilling life. Jen is passionate about activism and advocacy and has developed strong relationships and secured financial resources throughout her career to improve the lives of those in her communities.

Before moving to Carroll County in 2022, Jen’s career spanned various roles, including most recently serving for 7 years as the executive director of development for Meritus Health, a local hospital system, in Washington County, Maryland. In addition to focusing on the rights of the developmentally disabled and community healthcare needs, she has worked to address gaps in veterans’ services, women’s health disparities, and victims’ rights all stemming from her early experience managing a federal constituency caseload while serving as the Western Maryland Representative for United States Senator, Barbara A. Mikulski.

Jen is originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, but grew up in Washington County, Maryland. She graduated from St. Maria Goretti High School and earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Human Service Management from the University of Phoenix.

Dr. Mona Becker

Dr. Mona Becker has been a resident of downtown Westminster, along with her wife, since moving to the city in 2003. She is a member of the Science Faculty and serves as the Science Department Chair at Westminster High School. She has been involved in environmental education, science outreach, and leadership throughout her career.

Mayor Becker previously served on the Common Council as a Councilmember from 2015 – 2019 where she contributed to the fiber project, the Enhanced Nitrogen Removal (ENR) project, the early stages of water reuse/recycling, and reinvestment in downtown.

During her three years in office as Mayor, she has overseen the renovation of the Westminster Community Pool, the adoption of the Master Plan for Wakefield Valley Park – including the renovation of the Clubhouse into a Conference Center/Event Space, renovation of the Historic Clock Tower on Main Street, and numerous infrastructure projects including fiber installation, water main replacements and various downtown improvements, including the installation of ParkMobile. In addition, the downtown events and Summer Stroll Festivals bring thousands of people to Main Street in Westminster. She is a strong supporter of the Westminster Police Department and is invested in the safety of residents and visitors to the city alike. She is a tireless advocate for PUREWater Westminster, the City’s water recycling/reuse program, on which construction will begin shortly.

As a resident of the city, Mayor Becker has been involved in Westminster since her arrival and enjoys advocating for downtown businesses and community outreach. Mayor Becker brings her passion for the city, prior experience in municipal leadership, and community engagement to the Mayor’s Office.

Mayor Becker’s term expires in 2025.

Stacy Link

Women in Leadership: Dream, Believe, Achieve!

Process driven. People Focused.

Mayor Link has been a Sykesville resident since 2005. Her service to the community started in 2011 when she became part of the then-grassroots downtown revitalization program. Soon after that, she was appointed to the Sykesville Historic District Commission and then served two terms on the Town Council before being elected Mayor of Sykesville in May 2021. Mayor Link has been an occupational therapist since 1997 specializing in adaptive technology and environmental accessibility for persons with disabilities. She is an independent contractor for the Maryland Department of Health as well as the Director of Operations for a Woman Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business that provides home modifications to our veterans across the country. She is a nationally certified assistive technology professional with an Executive Certificate in Home Modifications from the University of Southern California.

“When I decided to run for Mayor of Sykesville, I knew that my occupational therapist skill set would translate well to the role of mayor. But now that I’ve been mayor for three years, and as much as I love the niche that I’ve carved out for myself as an occupational therapist if I could make a living as Mayor of Sykesville, that’d be the winning ticket.”

In 2022 Mayor Link was named one of The Baltimore Sun’s 25 Women to Watch: Best in advocacy, business, and health. With the help of her grassroots team, knocking on 1,400 doors during her 2021 campaign, Stacy would describe her goal of improving pedestrian access to South Branch Park via a redesigned Patapsco River bridge as well as installing water and sewer infrastructure necessary for the adaptive reuse of the longtime-empty 1917 B.F. Shriver warehouse. Two years later, progress: a $2 million state grant, a bridge project initiated by the State Highway Administration, and a partnership forged with CSX necessary to run infrastructure beneath their rails and across the river. Link dreams of ultimately transforming the warehouse into an inclusive performing arts venue, and attributes work accomplished so far to building relationships: “I’ve always been a fierce competitor. But I’ve learned that cooperation is way more powerful.”
