Deyesu Board Member since 2004 In 1979, after attending two years of college, Vicki made the decision to join the U. S. Navy in search of adventure, experience, and diversity in her life. After several months of training as a medic, Vicki worked emergency rooms, critical care units, and labor and delivery areas at various duty stations. She earned her LPN and then RN at several Naval Medical Centers and various colleges that provided educational opportunities via satellite campuses. In 1980 Vicki spent two months onboard the USS Tinder, a submarine tender stationed in Charleston, S.C. During her tenure onboard ship, she became interested in helping those individuals who were having difficulty adjusting to life aboard ship. These individuals displayed very poor coping skills, social isolation, and an inability to communicate or interact effectively. Vicki’s desire to intervene and provide appropriate support measures led her to request special orders to Fort Sam Houston, Texas where she could undergo extensive training in psychiatric nursing. From 1981 until 1989 Vicki worked inpatient units, outpatient screening and counseling units, and specialty school classifications. In 1985, as the result of a serious shortage of Social Workers, Vicki volunteered to establish a social work training program for other psychiatric medics and nurses. Working in conjunction with the Chicago Veteran’s Administration and Medical Center, this 6 month program provided practical, on-the-job field training while working directly with licensed social workers. After undergoing the training, Vicki became the social worker for a 40 bed inpatient psychiatric unit at Great Lakes Naval Medical Center, IL. This job entailed outplacement of Page 2 of 10 military personnel facing medical discharge due to psychiatric illness. These individuals required all levels of assistance while re-entering into their communities (shelter, jobs, medical care, transportation, support groups, etc.). During this time period, Vicki also obtained her B.S. in Health Care Management from Southern Illinois University by attending classes on the weekends. After ten very good years of military service, Vicki decided it was time for change. In 1989, she left the military and the healthcare environment and moved to Manhattan, NY where she took a job as an Executive Coordinator at the leading investment firm of Smith Barney, Harris and Upham. Two years later, Vicki moved to Atlanta, GA after a client approached her with a job opportunity as Human Resource Manager for the National Bank of Cooperatives. The client was opening a new branch office and requested that Vicki participate in this undertaking. One last move back to the East Coast in 1992 placed Vicki at T. Rowe Price Group, one of the top Mutual Fund Complexes in the country. She began working in the Fund Accounting Department as an Administrative Coordinator and later moved to the Investment Technology division where she became an Administrative Manager responsible for 25 employees. Vicki spent 11 years at T. Rowe Price before following her husband into retirement in 2003. The decision to retire was a difficult one for Vicki, since she loved her work as well as her associates and colleagues. However, retirement has offered the special opportunity for Vicki and her husband to work together supporting different charities. Additionally, several days a week, Vicki also works as a Group Fitness professional with the Bel Air Athletic Club. Christy M. DiPietro Board Member since 1999 A native New Englander, Christy grew up in Wellesley, Massachusetts, graduated from the University of Vermont in 1983, and received her M.B.A. from the Amos Tuck School at Dartmouth College in 1987. After marrying a native Baltimorean and working for several years in New York City, Christy moved to Maryland in 1990 with her husband, David. Christy spent the next nine years working at T. Rowe Price Associates as a Vice President and fixed income portfolio manager. Christy left T. Rowe Price in 1999 to devote more time to family and personal interests. Their three daughters all attended Garrison Forest School, where David is Trustee and Christy is an active volunteer. They enjoy spending time in New Orleans, where their 2 older daughters now live, and are on the road most fall weekends watching their youngest play field hockey for Washington and Lee University. David is a Board member of Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Chesapeake and mentors Jerius Eason (14) who is an important part of their family as well. David is a Venture Partner at Greenspring Associates and is active in the thoroughbred horse racing industry as a breeder and owner, and shares a horse named Uncle Tito with our Board President, Jeff Musgrove! When not in Baltimore, they can usually be found spending time at their house on Deep Creek Lake enjoying all of their favorite sports.

WLMF was established in 2006 through the efforts of The Honorable Eileen Rehrmann, a former delegate and the first woman to serve as County Executive of Harford County. WLMF’s first President was the late Delegate Pauline Menes, a founder of Women Legislators of Maryland (Women’s Caucus). WLMF was organized to assist the Women’s Caucus in achieving its funding potential in support of its agenda. The Women’s Caucus’ agenda addresses equal rights for women and children, primarily in connection with education, employment, economic development, and social opportunities. Throughout the history and advancement of our great nation, women have been an untapped and underutilized resource. However, today we celebrate! We are ecstatic to report that 2018 has truly been the year of the woman. I am delighted to share that record numbers of women ran successfully for office nationwide during the 2018 mid-term elections. The number of women in the Maryland General Assembly reached an all-time high of 72 members. In addition, WLMF is proud to report and salute the historical appointment of Victoria “Vicki” L. Gruber to the position of Executive Director of the Maryland Department of Legislative Services, on January 1, 2018.
