Hello!
As Community Relations Coordinator, I’m privileged to see firsthand the ways our community cares for one another. Throughout my career in the nonprofit sector, serving others has given me purpose and helped me understand how I fit into the world around me. As you might guess, one of my top Agilities is Serving and Caring!
As a mom of two teenagers, The Foundation’s work is also personal to me. The Foundation’s tools have assisted my son and daughter in exploring possible careers, and I’m eager to watch them pursue their interests and passions in the workforce.
I’m grateful to be surrounded by people – like you – who are dedicated to bettering our community! I hope you enjoy this month’s newsletter.
