Our Board

The GPRA board consists of 8 community members who are dedicated to furthering the mission of the GPRA.

Elizabeth Waldrop - General Coordinator

Elizabeth moved to Grant with her husband Jeremy and two children in 2019. One of the first things she looked for was a nearby park. "Coming from Birmingham we had several playgrounds close by and we love to go and take picnic lunches and play!" When Elizabeth was invited to a board meeting by a friend she was excited to get involved. Helping the community and giving back are values she was taught growing up and believes the park is an important part of our community serving families and our children.

Elizabeth is a graduate of Auburn University and works full-time for Cisco Systems, Inc. as a product manager on the Webex Collaboration team. She enjoys spending time with family and friends, reading, organizing, and is an active member of New Life United Methodist Church.
