Mary Ellen Chell is woman of year
Citing her work on behalf of low-income families, advocacy for affordable housing and years of helping alcoholics through recovery, state Sen. Byron Sher announced last week that Cupertino Community Services executive director Mary Ellen Chell is the 11th Senate District Woman of the Year.
Chell accepted the award at a ceremony Monday at the state capitol, along with the women of the year from the other state senatorial districts.
Chell, 50, lives in Cupertino and has worked at CCS for the last five years. Before CCS, Chell, who celebrates her 20th year of sobriety this year, worked as executive director of the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence.
"It's only through the grace of God and the love of my husband and friends that I get anything accomplished," Chell said.
