I am honored to serve on the Boys and Girls Club board, as it allows me to make the same positive impact in the lives of young individuals that were made for my Children when they were members of the club. By collaborating with fellow board members, staff, and volunteers, we work together to foster a safe and supportive environment where children can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
