Eunice M. Grant is a retired Banker with over 40 years of experience working on Wall Street. As a Senior V.P., her experiences include performing valuations of stocks and bonds, money markets, derivatives, foreign exchange, precious metals and as an auditor. She holds a bachelor’s degree in business and finance as well as economics. Eunice joined the CCDCC in 2019. Her family moved to Cecil County in September, 2001, from New York City and she considers it one of the best decisions she’s ever made! When she’s not trying to turn this county blue she enjoys traveling, sewing, writing, comedy, and all things historical. However, her favorite thing in the world is music. Eunice’s Dad was a gospel singer traveling on what was known as the chitlin circuits with the likes of Sam Cook, Shirley Ceasor and other gospel greats. Apparently everyone in her family except Eunice has inherited this talent; nonetheless that does not stop her from singing her heart out. She loves all music; if she can find the beat, she can get into it!
