Community Involvement
Service is intrinsic to who I am and the value system I was raised in. Today, I stay involved in community work because it keeps me close to the realities people are navigating and keeps me connected. From organizing boxes at the food bank and gardening at a shelter, board-level strategy or fundraising to raise awareness of global issues—Context Matters. Legacy Matters. Our society can only grow and improve if those of us who can, share our knowledge and time. The rewarding feeling of knowing the work you have done impacts real people and real systems is immeasurable.
