Speaker Bio
Retired since 2008, living in Prescott, Arizona since 2002, Sally Schindel was a self-employed financial advisor, with CFP certification. Her bachelor's degree in accounting is from Western Illinois University in 1972. Schindel's passion now is volunteering with organizations that are making a difference in the lives of young people and their education. She is a long term member of P.E.O., supporting women's education, and a volunteer with MATFORCE in Prescott, working toward a brighter future by building a healthier community, striving to eliminate substance abuse and its effects. Schindel serves as the headquarters of MomsStrong.org in Arizona, a group of Moms unmasking the marijuana charade. She also volunteers with CAALM.info, a national organization dedicated to providing the latest information on the harms of marijuana to individuals and our country and the Marijuana Victims Alliance, a project of CAALM. Schindel is the proud mother of two. She calls her daughter, "the light of my life." Her son, Andy, died in 2014. Andy's death is linked to marijuana addiction. He left a powerful message that Sally wants all to know. Andy said, "Marijuana killed my soul + ruined my brain." Sally says: "I am now working with Andy, in his memory, urging young people to not risk using marijuana or other drugs. Marijuana is not harmless. I hope Andy's message will help everyone 'Think Again' before assuming the drug marijuana is harmless."
