For over 65 years, Margaret Sanders often found herself working in a man’s world where she held such jobs as advertising designer, writer, air traffic controller, photographer and international yearbook representative. Her career with Walsworth Publishing Company began in 1961 and during the subsequent four decades, she traveled the world assisting schools with the publication of their yearbooks. This afforded her the opportunity to develop a close identification with overseas “American/International” schools and their diverse and interesting populations.

Margaret passed away in June 2009 however her legacy continues via the scholarship foundation through the United Way Foundation of Sarasota County to serve the international schools in perpetuity.
