Laura Grimes-Hartley of Woodsboro has been named to the Kids' Chance of Maryland board of directors.
Kids' Chance is a nonprofit foundation that gives scholarships to children whose parents have been injured or killed in workplace incidents.
Grimes-Hartley is the mother of two children who have received scholarships from the organization in the past, making her the first parent of a recipient to serve on the board, according to Nancy Kellar, the program's executive director.
"I hope to be able to bring a parent's point of view," said Grimes-Hartley, who lost her husband to a construction site accident in 1998.
