I was nominated and elected as a Board Member April 2012. Since I have joined, I have been serving on the Board Governance Training Committee and the Finance Committee. We have been working together to develop policies and procedures on Board training. Simultaneously, we are working with staff on the yearly Annual Meeting event, making decisions about various details. Also, we held our first Mixer event inviting the new nominees and interviewing them for a possible position on the Board. The Board is reviewing the first Strategic Plan that evolved from an event that we attended discussing the potential and possibilities of a sustainable, workable and attainable 3 Year Plan. Hosted an event for nominees for open Board positions, creating an agenda and questions for the nominees, preparing food, invited several board members. The event was very successful. It is challenging and exciting to learn these new skills that we will all benefit from.

I had been volunteering at Lawrence Community Works (LCW) since 2007. I worked with a team of people, with a goal of increasing voter registration. It required door-knocking, going to areas where people frequented such as, barber shops, and other busy businesses. Successfully, we were able to register 500 people before the 2008 Presidential Election.

The Finance Committee met once a month and discussed all phases of finance that affects this organization. I felt it was an opportunity to increase my understanding of what occurs in the process and beneficial to my understanding of the financial process. It was very interesting to be part of the decision-making process.

My job entailed contacting newspapers, Community Leaders, Businesses, Agencies, Non-profits and Federal elected officials for the purpose of keeping all abreast of what Job Corps is doing to help its students succeed in the program, outreach to community leaders. Also important is networking with businesses in search of placements for the students to learn skills in their selected field of training. I am a people-person, therefore, was always looking forward to meeting all those who want to support what Job Corps is doing to help students move forward. My goal was to help direct them towards an education and/or the skill/s they were being trained in.

I was elected to serve on this committee November 2011 for a two-year term. School Committee meetings are held twice a month. The board oversees and signs warrants for related bills, collective-bargaining issues between employees and the school, the interview process and the process of hiring the school attorney, overseeing policy relative to our legal oversight authority, being accountable to our constituents and making decisions as a team to ensure that students and the school operate efficiently and effectively. My goal as a school committee member is to work as a team with my fellow committee members, to make decisions to benefit the students, the parents, and the administration and to attend student events on behalf of the students. Job placements for seniors play an integral role for the students to become self-sufficient and scholarships also help promote student achievements in many areas of Greater Lawrence Technical School. I was proud to be on this school committee and did whatever I could to help the students in that school to be successful. Though my term has ended, I will continue to work with my fellow committee members and the administration to reach their continued goals for the success of Greater Lawrence Technical School.

Washington D.C. Metro Area

There were 55 fellows selected out of 300 people, out of the 55 fellows, 8 were selected as Turf Fellows to oversee a Ward I was one of the 8 people chosen to oversee Ward 7. My responsibilities included organizing and coordinating a weekly phone bank, finding a venue, having lists from Votebuilder for volunteers to call constituents from, then check off results from the phone calls. The volunteers' weekly phone call goal was 300-500 calls per week total, my weekly phone call goal was to call 200 constituents, and input all resulted information. Eventually, I trained all volunteers to input information into Votebuilder themselves. I had to find and attend local events and ask constituents to put their information on the sheets, introduce myself to local officials, attend any and all events to get to know the community, drop off Votebuilder call sheets to constituents that preferred to make calls from their homes. I had to create and oversee a core team to ensure that tasks were completed, such as, creating and overseeing the Facebook page for our Ward. All Fellows were required to be on conference calls, mandatory meetings, marched in the parade, drove to Virginia in groups to talk with people about the President for re-election, and was responsible for making sure the volunteers who showed up received training, all paperwork was filled in, etc. Had to volunteer so many hours a week at the DNC office to make phone calls. This was an exciting learning experience, and great leadership training.
