She was active in managing the Danish chapter where she served on the board from 1921 to 1924 and later became an honorary member.[1] Thanks to her support for the Danes in Southern Jutland, following reunification in 1920, as head of the Flensburg Society she travelled to Germany each summer with Hanne Jenssen to provide encouragement for the Danes living in Southern Schleswig.
