1. Introduction of New Member: Kristy Schuster  
I have a Masters of Health Administration from the University of South Carolina and  
worked for 10 years as a licensed Nursing Home Administrator in Pennsylvania and in  
Dodge County, Wisconsin. After having my third child, I took time off professionally but  
volunteered as an Evening Meals on Wheels volunteer for 4-5 years in Dane County as  
well as became (and remain) a volunteer Guardian through NewBridge for a senior in the  
community without family able to help him.  
I became the Service Coordinator at The Colonial View apartment in Sun Prairie last  
September. The View is a HUD subsidized low-income housing complex for  
independent seniors age 62+ and those with physical mobility disabilities. My job is to  
ensure that the tenants receive the services and benefits they need to successfully live  
here for as long as it is safe for them to do so.  
I look forward to the opportunity to be a contributing member of the Nutrition and  
Wellness Committee.
