Janelle is currently recovering from TSW and she began her TSW journey in October, 2017 after suffering from eczema since birth and likely using topical steroids for 57 years. Janelle retired from Ball Corporation as Director, Graphic Services in September 2014. During her near 30 year tenure, she developed and built what is still known today as the most state of the art metal packaging graphics center. She was the first female to serve on the Board of Directors for the International Metal Decorators Association and served as Secretary\/Treasurer, Vice President and President of the Board. Janelle is excited to bring her skills and her enormous passion to the ITSAN Board in an effort to help bring awareness, education and advocacy to those experiencing TSW, and to end this horrible, unnecessary addiction.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-0ff602b3e980a3377077ff3c1c834df6 hr-default  avia-builder-el-50  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-2de302bf1aa3cf4c9157dbe6f50ac7eb '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h4><strong>ITSAN Selected as a 2021 Gladskin Gives Recipient!<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6454\" src=\"https:\/\/www.itsan.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/d-300x291.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"139\" height=\"135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.itsan.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/d-300x291.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.itsan.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/d-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.itsan.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/d.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 139px) 100vw, 139px\" \/>We are pleased to share that ITSAN was selected to be one of the nonprofit recipients chosen in 2021 for a Gladskin Gives award.
