Sandy Lerner

Following the founders' departures from Cisco Systems, Lerner has focused on charitable activities, including work with animal welfare, animal rights, shelter inter-networking and various other animal causes.  In addition, in 1992, she established the Centre for the Study of Early English Women's Writing and the Chawton House Library in Hampshire, England, donating her collection of early published works by women authors.  Since that time, the Library has grown to be the pre-eminent centre for the study of early women's writings, with a degree-granting partnership with Southampton University.

For her various charitable efforts, Lerner has been awarded four honorary Ph.D. degrees and numerous other awards.  She currently lives in Virginia where her organic Ayrshire Farm has achieved recognition as the first operation, restaurant and butcher shop, to be Certified Humane in the United States.   She continues her work with Chawton and in the animal welfare community worldwide.

The Spring Seminar took place on 20th May given by Dr Barnita Bagchi
