Biographical Information
Cindy Knul describes herself as a “military brat,” having attended thirteen schools by the 9th grade due to her Dad’s military involvement. This sparked a love of reading, travel and people from other cultures and a disdain for all wars and people being treated unjustly. This in turn led her to become an active Quaker. She is married to a former Montagnard refugee from Viet Nam and has a fifteen year old son at home who attends a private Quaker school in Greensboro. She recognizes her family and her friends as the driving force in her life and never misses an opportunity to socialize.Cindy has been employed with a private, non profit adoption and foster care agency, Children’s Home Society (CHS) for seven years as the Director of Recruitment Outreach. She is particularly interested in identifying a diverse group of families who would be able to parent minority children in the foster care system. Cindy possesses first-hand experience with the child welfare system, as a foster parent for twenty-seven years and an adoptive parent for thirteen years. Prior to coming to CHS, she worked with refugees for seventeen years from all over the world with Lutheran Family Services. Cindy possesses a Bachelor of Science in Community Mental Health from North Carolina A&T State University.
