Since then, Wood has served on the City’s Citizens’ Advisory Committee, Utility Advisory Board and Planning Commission.

Wood also has served on the board of directors for Neighborhood Housing Services of Southern Nevada and Friends of the North Las Vegas Library District. She graduated from the North Las Vegas Police Department Citizens’ Police Academy and is a member of the Citizens’ Police Academy Alumni North.
