Our Board of Directors
President
Erin Hurley

She lives with her husband, Mark, two boys, Kieran and Breccan, and their dogs and cats in Long Beach, CA. She is originally from the Pacific Northwest, but has called California her home for over 20 years; so she is starting to feel like a sort-of- local.

She is passionate about environmental issues and kindness and, for these reasons, is so excited to be a part of MOMCODE. She hopes that together we can make a difference in the lives of mothers, create a kinder, more inclusive next generation. Erin looks forward to you joining us on this journey!
