Biographical information
Carolyn Jones: I was born and raised in Jersey City, N.J. My career started in New York City in banking and led me to Washington, D.C., to the fields of academia, consulting and quasi-government at the Smithsonian Institution. In each field I held positions that required problem-solving, leadership and people skills. While working, I acquired a bachelor’s degree in business from the University of Maryland and a master’s in finance from Southeastern University. I retired from the Smithsonian as director of human resources with a staff of 100, responsible for 6,500 employees. Living in Lewes for more than 12 years, I have continued my lifelong record of public service – in volunteer work and civic involvement.
