Carol Pickford – Regional Coordinator

Carol Pickford was introduced to handbells in 1979 when her church organist (Barbara Meinke’s mother!) heard about this “new” instrument, and has never looked back. She currently is a member of 3 handbell choirs (2 community groups and 1 church groups) and serves as SoCal Regional Coordinator for Area 12 as well as serving on the board for LA Bronze. She is active in many local and national events through Handbell Musicians of America. Carol’s current day job is a regional sales manager in the medical electronics industry. Carol has served on the board since 2021 and is happy to help with any questions you might have or resources you need.
