McNamara is a retired teacher/principal/administrator who served in BPS for 35 years; Wolford, a Trustee of the Bellevue Board of Education, is a retired English teacher who served in BPS for 31 years. McNamara and Wolford join School Board member Scott Eby, already a member of the BPSF Board. Eby is in Business Development for CKF.
