“Julie came to us as a potential board member with an impressive resume. But her resume doesn’t begin to describe her. Volunteers come in many forms. Julie is unique.
From the get-go, she hit the ground running. Not just running, but leaping into projects that resulted in the design, project management and culmination of our bookend offices.
And running is a theme with Julie. She volunteered ( perhaps voluntold) her nephew to run the Boston Marathon last year to raise money for HOW. Julie and I shared that day with our nephews and families. I’m so happy we could join forces that day.
Julie doesn’t take no for an answer, but she knows how to say no when it comes to dollars, budget limits and what is feasible.
She has an intrinsic sense of wonder. With her imagination, she envisions possibilities yet to come. She makes us better.
We are honored to celebrate Julie as our volunteer of the year.” – Marianne Thomas, Vice Chair of the HOW Board & Volunteer Chair of the Volunteer Committee “The Kindness Crew”
