She has also served on the board of directors of Arts Are Elementary, the school board at St. John’s Catholic School, and currently serves on the board of trustees of Camp Bishopswood and on the development committee of Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program.

Elwell spent 28 years in the forest products industry in central and eastern Maine. After retiring, Elwell ventured into fundraising and development at Boston University and Massachusetts General Hospital before retiring back to Maine in 2009. He is a member of the Brunswick Maine Rotary Club and serves on the board of directors of Midcoast Senior College.

She currently serves on the business committee of the Maine Summer Camps and Junior Maine Guide Program’s Board of Directors. She has served on the business committee for Peak Venture Group in Colorado and the Charitable Fund Committee for JP Morgan Chase.

For 59 years, Maine State Music Theatre has brought Broadway-style musical theater to Brunswick. The theater, contracted with the Actors’ Equity Association’s Council of Resident Stock Theatres, produces four main stage musicals, two Theatre for Young Audiences musicals, and three Monday Concerts each summer at the Pickard Theater on Bowdoin College.
