Community Involvement

As a native of Tennessee, the Volunteer State, community service and community involvement have always been important parts of her life.

Her parents were her greatest teachers. They taught her the importance of assisting others and helping to make the world a better place. For this and many more reasons, she considers it an honor to be called a “Volunteer.” Her involvement in Girl Scouting and other community-based organizations and activities began when she was a young girl and today community engagement is among her greatest priorities.
