Welcome to Harpenden Village Rotary Club

Former Town Mayor Joins Club

Mary Maynard is welcomed into club membership by President Hugh Lawrence.

Mary has lived in Harpenden for over 40 years. For many years she ran a London-based management consultancy, specialising in IT and business change. As the UK non-executive chair and member of the International Senate, she worked with SOS Children’s Villages for 20 years to give orphaned and abandoned children around the world a home and education. 

Latterly, she was a local Councillor for Harpenden, serving as the Harpenden Town Mayor for a term. Currently, she is fulfilling a long-term ambition of writing her first novel, having written several technical tomes and been a newspaper columnist.
