Andrea Woodworth has worked in sales with Cigna Healthcare for the past 17 years, specializing in employee benefit plans for small to mid-size employers. She is passionate about building relationships and helping businesses support the health and wellbeing of their teams.

Three years ago, Andrea and her husband moved to Heath after spending many years renovating homes together in East Dallas. Ready for a change of pace from city life, they were drawn to the strong sense of community they discovered in Rockwall County. Today, Heath is home to Andrea, her husband, and their two dogs, and a place where they look forward to putting down lasting roots.

Inspired by the spirit of service she found in the community, Andrea joined the Rockwall Women’s League. After witnessing the League’s significant impact on local nonprofits and scholarship programs, she knew she wanted to play a role in giving back. Now three years into her membership, Andrea serves as the Ball Chair for the League’s annual gala, where she is focused on helping refresh, rebuild, and modernize the organization’s signature fundraising event so it can continue to grow alongside the Rockwall community.

Andrea is grateful to bring the strategic and relationship-building skills she has developed throughout her professional career into her volunteer work, helping further the mission of the Rockwall Women’s League and the organizations it supports.

Its an all hands on deck event, so please block your calendar.

We will need volunteers to help setup, place signs, assist in parking, register the teams, assist in handing out ammunition to the teams, man the stations to pull & score, assist in the raffle, and after party. There is a job for everyone.
