Our Staff

Edna Vandiver

Executive Director

Edna attended the University of Texas where she received her Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration & Accounting. Upon graduating, she was promoted to divisional manager at Tandy Acceptance Corp. After moving to the Hill Country in 1983, she continued to put her abilities to use working for RD Construction Company and H & R Block while successfully running her own tax and accounting business for over 25 years. Edna has also been heavily involved in the local church, leading & participating in Bible Studies, mentoring programs and Prayer Ministry as well performing accounting duties for Kerrville Bible Church. At Impact Christian Fellowship, she served as an administrative assistant as well as successfully managing the Bookstore and Coffee shop. Before joining the staff of CWJC in 2013 as the Assistant Director and Accountant, Edna served as a mentor and also as a member of the board of directors. Her passion to help other women become all God created them to be makes her a perfect fit to lead the ministry of CWJC as the current Executive Director.

Meredith Carpenter

Executive Assistant

Meredith attended Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi where she received her Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Biology. While in college, she worked as an intern with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and upon graduating they hired her on as an administrative assistant at Goose Island State Park where she also got to enjoy kayaking and teaching groups of kids how to fish. After having children, her love for the outdoors took a backseat and she became passionate about supporting women as a doula and childbirth educator. She also has experience marketing small businesses, homeschooling her three children, and serving in her local church. Meredith has a heart for encouraging women and brings tangible peace to CWJC.
