Antonelli has served on the ACT in Faith Board since 2012, and became Board president in 2014.  “I was drawn to ACT in Faith by the passion of its founding member, Lark Worth, and its executive director, Hallie Romanowski, both of whom instilled that passion in me,” said Antonelli. “I’m honored to have been selected to help shepherd ACT in Faith into its next decade.”

Antonelli is a member of Gawthrop Greenwood’s Trusts and Estates Department, practicing Estate Planning and Estate and Trust Administration. She is a member of the board of the Chester County Estate Planning Council, which focuses on furthering the education of members and the public in estate planning.
