Maverick of the Month: Lana Mangold

Selected by Pat Gouldy, Mav Women Behind the Wheel Chair

Lana Mangold

How do you find a woman who enjoys her role in the Maverick club? You go to a Happy Hour! Lana Mangold is our Mav of the month and she is full of excitement when it comes to planning our Happy Hours!

Lana became involved in PCA just over 2 years ago when she started dating Tom Minella, but she did admit she was way more involved back in the 60’s and 70’s with her Porsche! After hearing the Happy Hour chair position was open nearly a year ago, Tom quickly volunteered Lana and himself for the job and haven’t looked back since then. Lana’s excitement for this position is contagious, and if you haven’t been to a Happy Hour recently, you should try one! I dragged my husband to the one at Sneaky Pete’s in August off of Lake Lewisville, bringing back fond memories of boating with our friends. Lana was in her element walking around and talking to all the members that came. If you didn’t know, Tom proposed to Lana on her birthday in July, so congrats!

The Maverick of Month recognizes one member of the club each month for exemplifying what it means to be a Maverick. Volunteers, Board of Director Chairs and Members at Large going out of their way to give back and lead are the backbone of our club. Winners receive our undying thanks, and a $75 gift card provided by Autobahn Porsche. Do you know someone that embodies what it means to be a Maverick? Nominate them for the Maverick of the Month! volunteers@mavpca.org
